North knows you do not have a stiff heart, since East denied having four of them. Maybe North thinks it's likely that you started with Qxx, and he is trying to make sure the suit doesn't block. Since you (should) also know that East doesn't have four hearts, you should lead Q when you get in to do your part to prevent the suit from blocking, even if East started with the ace.

Blocking the suit may be a bigger consideration if North didn't have a very probable spade entry. It's hard to guess what the simulations may have said.
