The problem is that different types of organization (hospitals, universities, etc.) have different types of departments. This would lead to a page documenting department=* values being split across two or more tables for humans to understand more easily. But iD tends to populate its drop-downs from wikidata or wiki pages, meaning that you'd have a big drop-down filled with every type of department, irrespective of the type of organization. That makes it hard to use, and is why iD will almost certainly refuse to support it.
