Because you have to clean the bore with soap and water to get the salts out. Regular cleaning solvents won't touch the stuff and your bore will rust in no time as the salts attract water from the air.

I know someone may have a special cleaner for corrosive primers but thru the years it has been found that water takes the stuff out best. Just as water is best for black powder fouling.
