The reason is that PA is a per-user daemon, not a system service. If three users were logged in, then each of their PA servers would need to be killed and restarted but due to console-kit, only the active user would get access to the devices which could cause enumeration issues etc. It could maybe be handled better, but doing so would be rather complex.
