The primary reason being that the standard rulesets are a bit specific as to what rules works with what version. sa-update makes some version checks and will, in theory, only download rules appropriate to your version of SA. If you're running a version that's old enough to not have sa-update, you really should upgrade all of spamassassin before looking for better rules. The code itself is quite critical to accuracy as improvements are constantly made to various parts such as mime and URI parsers to deal with spammer's tricks. Rules alone can't be a complete solution.
