Reason #1: The defenders don't have to stay behind the ball as they do in rugby. There is always the chance of a defender on the pitch man, making it beyond risky.
Reason #2: Pitching the ball MUST be practiced if used regularly. If it's a gadget play, you rep it a few times per week and save it for The Alamo. If you're going to do it a lot, you must practice it a lot. Juice and squeeze ratios must be met, which they wouldn't be in this scenario.
