Because R-ATP are offered only though certain approved institutions such as universities in U.S. Ordinary Part 61/Part 141 schools don't qualify.

If you read the regs it directs you to which courses/institutions that allow a person to utilize the R-ATP mins if you compete their course in full.

Once you get your license you will then need to build hours. Even if you were to complete a qualification through an approved course that allows the R-ATP, then at that point you won't qualify for an E3 and I don't believe any of those institutions offer a visa that allow foreigners to work in the US in order to build up hours. So you're kinda snookered unless you already qualify for an E3 visa using only your aviation quals as per the E3 requirements.
