Because it has to run all sorts of JavaScript, Flash, pull images etc.
and generally do what a browser does as part of the test.
We need a real browser (multiple browsers types and versions from
multiple platforms, actually) to access that web page, "wget" and
friends won't cut it.

I'd be glad to hear about it.
