Two reasons I can think of off the top of my head:
* POSIX prefers "struct foo" as opposed to "foo" or "foo_t"
* typedefs obscure the fact that a data structure is in fact a
structure, and not a native machine type. Typically typedefs are best
used for discrete elements those contents are either opaque or a single
value.
