A server has no issue with knowing that a SYN belongs to a new session by seeing its ISN greater than the end of the previous window. On the opposite, a client cannot know if the remote server it wants to connect to is safe for reuse and will refrain from establishing a new connection during the whole TIME_WAIT state, effectively preventing itself from doing its job.
