Because that's not the best place to measure temperature on that engine for performance and health monitoring. That's why. For that engine, measuring the T where it is measured provides better data, both in the cockpit and for the maintenance functions. (The CT7 is in the same family as the T700, with which I had some experience). It's about 25 years ago, but in our ground training as pilots the "where you find the probe for that temp" was part of our course as was "why it is measured there." One of the neat features of the T700 is the history recorder. (As I recall the T4.5 is one of four parameters tracked, but I'll need to check my old notes later on).
If I can dig up an old training slide on that I'll add it in.
