Because I don't understand how we can make a realistic & smooth transition from current GCC trunk to a future GCC in C++ without such a feature. Or is the grandiose plan to rewrite entirely GCC in C++ without making that gradual? And also because I still stand convinced that a good garbage collector is useful inside GCC. (the "Resource Acquisition Is Initialization" mantra would probably mean a big lot of copied data and a lot of used memory).
