One, because mathematical formatting has its own rules, which are not formalized by Unicode. Two, because these marks all establish a run that is bounded, usually by the first non digit, else by the first non-word character. The square root applies to arbitrary text (matching a  part of a mathematical _expression_). If you want to define its scope in "plain text" you have to use parens, for example.

Characters in that class include U+0600 ARABIC NUMBER SIGN and U+06DD ARABIC END OF AYAH. The new property, named Prepended_Concatenation_Mark and targeted for Unicode 9.0, would provide a mechanism to handle subtending marks collectively via properties rather than by hardcoded enumeration. A detailed description of the issue and how to provide feedback are given in Public Review Issue #310. http://blog.unicode.org/2015/11/new-character-property-for-prepended.html
