Because providing full radar separation (typically 3nm/1000') between IFR and VFR would be unnecessarily restrictive
Yeah I agree, but this was what I read for separation standards in the Class C area:
7-8-3. SEPARATION
Separate VFR aircraft from IFR aircraft by any one of the following:
a. Visual separation as specified in para 7-2-1, Visual Separation, para 7-4-2, Vectors for Visual Approach, and para 7-6-7, Sequencing.
b. 500 feet vertical separation;
c. Target resolution.
