Because you won't find links to these repositories on anything included
in Fedora, nor on any website hosted by Red Hat.  We obviously can't
stop people from using these, nor would we want to.  However legally we
can't point to them.  Nor could we provide a tool that has pre-existing
knowledge of these repositories, nor provide metata that knows about
these repositories.
