In the 1959 game between Fisher and Ruben http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1008377 why didn't Fisher play pawn to h3 at move 6 instead of moving the Rook? And why was it later played when black had castled?

This is the game.  His name was Fischer.
 
Why would white play 6 h3 when there is no threat for black to play Bg4? After 7..d6, black could play Bg4 with an annoying pin.
