It's mainly because if conflicts with our on-the-ground rule - given there's no physical evidence of a bus stop at that location, it can be quite difficult to resolve any disputes over its location. Hence the caution about marking it, because we have little opportunity to correct it. Also, in my opinion, unmarked bus stops are a daft concept to begin with, seemingly dreamed up to make life harder than it needs to be! Imagine if Network Rail started creating unmarked "Custom and Practice" railway stations - where you were expected to guess the location, stand beside the line and hope the trains stopped when you put your hand out!
