Probably ease of implementation.   By default, darcs send does not
bother to minimise the context of a patch beyond what is in the remote
repository.  It could do more (indeed we have --context flag that lets
you control just how much context you want within reason).  For example,
we might commute the sent-patches down as far as possible in our own
repository before doing the send.  It's not clear to me how that would
perform in practice though.

Indeed, I can pull it from your repo.
