Because it's how remote CVS was designed to be used and because it is
the only way to make remote CVS access secure. CVS-pserver is not
secure in any way whatsoever and cannot be made secure.
CVS-pserver is only just barely suitable for read-only anonymous access,
and then really only if it's used on a secure private network or if
there's some other _secure_ way to verify the integrity of the files
retrieved via pserver.
