The “rewrite” directive is intended to change request URI, while
the named locations are intended for redirecting without URI change.

Simple answer is:

Because rewrite directive is to rewrite request URI as per it’s name,
while redirecting a request to a named location preserves request
URI (and that’s the sole purpose of named locations).

More complex one is:

Support of named locations in rewrites was discussed more than
once, and yet we’ve failed to convince Igor that it will be a
good change.
