"because you want to be sure about what informations can be derived "straight away" about that that name and you dont really want to trust for the eternity whatever decides to give you at the time of browsing a process running in the machine pointed hopefully by whoever currently owns the domain "root" to the name that you meant to use (an arbitrary amount of time earlier) in your RDF " the English is crooked i know.. but :-) Say some guy speaks about his family and uses his domain for URIs . then he passes away or whatever a spammer gets the domain name and here you go. He really meant to speak of his beloved wife and instead nasty pics are "resolved" by the spammer web server. and there is really nothing to do about it.. Comparison: could it be though sorta of like using bnodes?. its NICE they're not addressable from the outside so you can create small "islands" of rdf which will not be inferred with by merging with other graphs..
