Because it would be excessive typing every time you want to do something to that branch? I guess bash completions would help with this (if you're using bash), but even then it's kind of unreasonable to name branches something like "bug-111234-widget-performance-improvements-for-customer-x", which is the sort of information that would be awfully helpful two months later when you're looking at old unmerged branches.
