Because it would make the life of M$ and other programmers for the

Not to mention: "You have resized an unfocused window. Please click ok to
reboot windows for the effects to take change."

Sawfish can do it too (might need some config, don't remember, but google
will tell you.), that's why I use it instead of the default metacity.
