IMO for the same reason it is attractive to limit *bold* to imply bold.
[At one point it was possible to alter the (export) interpretation of
emphases].

Home-brewed solution are not stable compared to syntax.  Getting ad-hoc
citations in Org is very and there might be as many implementations as
there are users.

E.g. org-ruby would not (I hope) support [MY-CITE:MY-DOI]...

That is /a/ problem but not /the/ problem.  E.g. some people prefer
Zotero.  Some might prefer DOI.

If you can live with \cite-only there's already ox-bibtex.el that will
support bibtex citations in html.
