Because of the purpose of the split PDF feature, which is mostly for
reviewing a particular section, like the snapshot feature. Also it
typically has a small area, and scrolling conveniently is more
important than selecting for that. Moreover, tools and menu actions
are targeted to the main view, the secondary view should be as simple
as possible without any actions, because you'll get confusing
situations when you don't. Basically, it's part of the compromise of
having the split pdf feature in the first place (you could search for
my arguments against this feature in the first place, which are
related to this).
