.....because it's light, not because it's strong.
Aluminum flexes. Structural steel has bounce too, but aluminum a lot
more so. It'll flex enough that climbers will comment on how much it
moves. Presumably it's safe if you stay within the load it's rated for,
but the next scary thing is the rated load is going to be lower than
steel, and it's very easy for someone to come along and add load without
checking that.
Not saying aluminum is inherently bad, but you have to know it's
limitations.
