Because its a hack, because it exposes the font to unknown dependencies in which it might not function correctly, and because we've spent the past ten years getting good at producing fonts to spec rather than putting in hacks to solve short-term software issues. We want a nice clean web font spec, against which we can test our products. Further, some of us have customers whose procurement requirements would prevent us from delivering fonts with corrupt data.
