No I have no idea.
But if I had to guess I'd say it's probably because one of the primary use cases for Power BI RS is when organizations have restrictions preventing them from putting data in the cloud. If you are using dataflows your data is already in the cloud so using the Power BI service would seem to be a better choice as the cloud service is always going to have more features and functionality than the on-prem version.
