Because skos:prefLabel has specific semantics relevant to the 
library/thesaurus world (like a single prefLabel in a given language) 
which might be, well,  too ... specific :-) for a general labeling use.

This is for *reified* (so-to-speak) labels, in advanced terminology 
management. Nothing to do with the current debate, what we need is 
something as simple and generic in scope as rdfs:label, but defined as a 
datatype property.
