Because it's an additional risk that you're aware of and prepared to take when riding your bike simply by riding 'no-brakes'. This means you're also aware that you won't be able to stop as quickly as riding with a front brake. This means that by riding in this way you also pose an additional hazard to other road users. Simple really.
