I think because I wanted to express the notion of not-pure in a sort of binary way (in my new jerseyan English, I have a tendency to use "un" for all negation, so something's never bad, it's just ungood). "impure" to me sounds like a term from the spanish inquisition or a novel by dostoyevsky. but i can change it...
