For the same reasons why the first OSM api had "segments" and was replaced by "ways". It makes editing and maintenance painful, you don't see where your street is starting and finishing. Relations using the street will contain only a segment of it. The data become unreadable for humans. The same complain was said about splitting ways for routes, something that does not correspond to any thing on the physical world. And they are also alternative solutions for that.
