Because that might not help prices go higher. It's always the real reason people are against taking the 1-5 seconds it takes to add a disclosure. It takes basically zero time to disclose, and if it doesn't matter, then it wouldn't hurt the price at all and there's no reason to not disclose. The only reason to not disclose facts that could hurt a cards price (notice there is never an argument made by anyone to hide facts that help a cards price) is because they might hurt the price. Telling the full and complete truth doesn't always help financial interests.
