Sorry, but it is _not_ just because.  There are reasons.  In fact,
theory is to pick the best explanation possible.

- 2 means omit 3, while 9 means include everything bellow except 6 is noted
- 6 means omit 7, by the way
- You can not raise 4 since it is a scale note, not the component of the
chord as in Root, 3rd, and 5th.  Thus it is a tension, and octave above
the body of the chord, 11th.  Otherwise use 4 to omit 3.  You can't have
both to form a chord that identifies the tonality.

Just remember that a chord needs root and 3rd to dictate the tonal
gravity, and you have to have a good reason when you don't, i.e.,
powerchord is to create a sound which could be either major or minor.
