I tried to find a reason for that and I couldn't. But for what it worth, here is what I came up with:
Both these vowels have a sustained sound which creates a natural vocal connection to the next word. As opposed to consonants for example which need a kasra to create this vocal connection.
"vocal connection" If you are looking for rules, maybe this is one of criteria to be considered. (I couldn't find a better expression for it!)
