Because those are the only ones required by the IMAP rfcs.

CRAM-MD5 in itself would be very simple to add (esp. on the 2.3
codebase). However, since both CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 require storing
passwords in plain-text on the server-side that would create some
serious compatibility problems for installations where some or all user
passwords are stored as a cryptographic tokens.
