Because regardless of whether you're talking about AAV or real numbers, it's still relative to the rest of the players at the position. If you're wanting to talk solely about one guy's contract, sure - go with real numbers, guarantees, not AAV.
But when you're talking about 2 or more players, it's a simple ratio whether you take out the balloon years or not. The only time it would be relevant is if one guy had a balloon year and the other guy doesn't.
Like comparing Josh Allen's contract to Kirk Cousins'.
