Because there is no aging requirement it moves much more quickly and as a result, there's much less risk of multiple transitions getting entangled and delayed. Ubuntu explicitly defines the $ RELEASE-proposed pocket as 'not meant for humans'. It's only for building/automatic testing. A nice side effect of this moving faster is that the Ubuntu release team doesn't pre-coordinate transitions. It's very close to what Debian has, but that small difference has a large impact.
