Because there's no combo box available in the standard HTML Forms 
feature set?  If other sites have them it's probably a javascript hack. 
  We've tended to avoid javascript in the past if it would break people 
using it without javascript.  There's probably a creative way to pull it 
off though.

Because there is too much of those still hard-coded on the back end, and 
allowing them to be edited in the UI would risk breaking things. 
There's work being done to clean up that back end code, and eventually 
they'll be editable in the UI, but they weren't safe yet at the time 
2.22 shipped.
