Just my take, but I would imagine that not having control over the address
space of a named graph is the most common reason.

For example, we store patient records as RDF graphs (one graph per patient
record) and allocate non-resolvable tag: URIs as their names.  So, already,
this rules out the 'direct' approach for managing these graphs in the
proposed protocol.
