Because you would need to access more current hardware as

full USB access - there is really nothing on WARP4 that works right
use tcp/ip 4.3 instaed of 4.0 - that means more functionality for
        modern applications like seamonkey, thunderbird, firefox,
        security fixes and so on
Ability to use up to 4TB files and logical drives with JFS
NOT to wait 8 or more hours on chkdsk after power failture or really rare now 
system crash with partitons bigger than 8 GB

Ability to get a system install from scratch on current and not oly really old 
mainboards and harddisks. Ability to get the install working directly from CD 
even with unsupported disk controller.

I've forgotten all the limits fallen with eCS.

Ah, yes, the minimum requirement of 500 MB does not mean that the 500 MB are 
full - it means only that the install process itself needs a really big disk 
space during install and will left about 250 MB free space after it completed. 
This free space will used in the running system for swapper, spooler and 
temporary files until you changes them to other disk.
