Because it is highly context sensitive. The context is things like the text of
any note and the width of the note pane. In particular, if the note pane is
collapsed, the row height would be infinite, which would make no practical
sense. And resizing all the rows dynamically whenever any of the dependent
conditions change is far too demanding.
