Presumably because inadvertent bashisms (like "function" below!) in a
script that claims to run on /bin/sh really annoying people for whom sh
is not bash. Since the set of people who don't want to install bash is
a strict subset of the people for whom sh is not bash[0], explicit use
of bash in shebangs means that fewer people are annoyed. (I'm assuming
that it's impossible to catch all bashisms submitted by developers.)

[0] Proof: I'm happy to install bash, but my sh is dash.
