Because WHILE needs to evaluate the condition several times, so it
needs the code of the condition, not the result of its execution;
IF, on the other hand, just needs the result. If you really want
an IF which uses a block, then use the following:
my-if: func [
"My strange if" [throw "To make RETURN work as expected"]
cond-block [block!] "Condition block"
code-block [block!] "Code block"
] [
if do cond-block code-block
]
