becase form=SQLFORM() is already a server side representation of the DOM. It is not an abstract object. after form=SQLFORM() you are supposed to be able to do form.element(name)[attribute](value) for example and other DOM manipulations.
If form were a more abstract object and if its DOM representation were to be decided later (form.as_div()) you would not be able to manipulate the DOM. This would 1) break backward compatibility; 2) break everything that is good about about it.
