Because Linus does not like receiving pull requests for branches that have been rebased recently, as that invalidates any testing done on the pre-rebased branch.

It's still a good idea to maintain your own separate rebased branch for cross-checking: merging in a branch, and rebasing your own work on top of that branch should yield the exact same tree.
