You have to ask the one who implemented that. Maybe it was for
performance reasons (dynamic-deps cause a lot of overhead
themselves...), maybe just because it was hard to implement it
properly.

Feel free to provide a patch. Just please don't forget that you
shouldn't write the updates before emerge finishes updates or starts
depclean on relevant packages, so that the installed package dependency
tree doesn't end up being broken.
