Because:
1) The HEAD reflog is the wrong place to stick things which weren't
recently checked-out.
and 2) the previous tip is currently the easiest-to-recover part of a
deleted branch. What's lost is all the reflog data: order of states, and
how they were reached.
However, I /do/ think it's as simple as "don't delete the reflog right
away when you delete a branch", and other edge-cases and niceties in
terms of UI (such as ref renaming, resurrection of refs for tracking
unrelated data, etc) can be taken care of later, if there's actually a
need for them.
