Because the mechanism is different.
Macro-Evolution stipulates mutations that results in features that confer a
survival advantage. These changes occur from generation to generation.
This is the definition of Natural Selection.
Micro-Evolution involves changes in features within a single individual
species within its own lifetime. When our skin turns dark after prolonged
exposure to the sun, that is change but that is not Macro-evolution - it's
micro-evolution, it's simply adaptation - changes within a species. The
changes never result in a new species. The changes are rapid which results
in new features. The genetic code is already there in our DNA, no mutations
need to occur to confer that new feature. This is the critical thing that
people must understand to understand the difference between Macro-Evolution
vs. Micro-Evolution.
Macro-Evolution has never been observable or repeatable. If you know of any
example where we clearly observe a species changing to another species;
please let me know and I'll shut up about Darwinian Evolution forever.

Lots of microevolution and adaptation does not result in Macro-evolution
(change of species/kind). This distinction is important.
How do you know that? And why must you maintain this distinction? Why is it
important for you to keep them separate. I don't. What for?
Have you measured all those thousands of micro changes over hundreds of
thousands of years and proven the contention that a species can't eventually
transform into a different one? I know I'm not capable because I can't live
that long, but neither can you.
You seem to be implying that each micro change can never reset the center of
the genetic normality of any species. But that's inaccurate. Every micro
change... every micro-mutation automatically resets the center of genetic
normality of the species for that particular organism. Actually, there is no
way to keep a species from NOT changing over millennium. Each and every
species on the planet is essentially an unstable macro-organism if one is
capable of perceiving this "change" from a geological POV.
