Because it's associated with Perl 6 which is commenly believed to be vaporware (yes, even if there have been releases). And because they want to make it so perfect that people can't remember why they used to be excited about it.

FWIW, the problem with their having been "releases" is that there is no reference release; Larry Wall is uninterested in doing an implementation.
