The answer is: For similar reasons for it now being an offence to touch your phone while driving a car in most places. Best to keep your eyes focussed outside the windscreen to see what's going on in real time in the real world, when operating VFR in the vicinity of an aerodrome in G. That's until ADSB Corporation guarantees performance and indemnity for liability when performance fails.
I’m not advocating using an iPad or similar for this - I was alluding to a proper installation. (I understand $$$). Visually acquiring traffic isn’t without its challenges and quite fallible. ADS B IN greatly enhances SA and aids see and avoid practices, I’m not suggesting it should replace them.
