I would presume for ease of use - it's shorter to write and is more immediately clear (to the non-wikipedian) what is meant. I guess that the underlying idea is that Wikiprojects (and indeed any form of collaboration that is more complex than what can be handled in an individual article's talkpage) are such a fundamental part of the way we go about building the encyclopedia that they deserve a namespace in their own right. Is that it Stevevertigo? On the other hand, I presume that this would entail the creation of a new namespace in the software but I'm not sure how tricky that implementation would be both on the technical side or the community side. Is there an on-wiki essay or proposal that you can link to to give a more detailed discussion of the idea?
