It would create something that I would call "irregularity" (or even ugliness) in the language grammar. Nowhere else is it ever allowed to have certain things inside a begin/end block, type, const, var are all only allowed in the *same* certain places outside of such blocks. Allowing var would also raise the question why not also allow type and const and this would open a can of worms. It would destroy some (much) of the simplicity (regularity, strictness, beauty, I don't know a better word) of the grammar.
