So that it would correctly support phraseto_tsquery's use of the operator to represent omitted words (stopwords) in a phrase. I think there's probably some use in also providing an operator that does "at most this many tokens away", but Oleg/Teodor were evidently less excited, because they didn't take the time to do it.
