1) Simply because they will have a harder time balancing it. So they probably won't want to do that(I think they also know it's extra unnecessary work and burden for dev team).
2) Possibility of mis-typing
3) They've said they will make many changes even in Beta if some aspects of the game is proven bad or wrong. And plans are a lot easier to modify because they're just not implemented yet [whether it be short-term or long-term](possibly, many things in the 5-year plan document are, technically, not even in the designing phase yet), because they're just 'plans' for now. So if the '4th players faction' thingy is clarified to be right, then we just have to strongly voice our concerns as fast as we can, so that we make them alter or remove their specific plan.
4) Smedly doesn't seem to be that cold-blooded man as we think he is, from what I know.
(he recently left the EQMac servers alive, so there's at least a glimmer of hope)

wait, you understand that the 4th faction is "planned" to be fully AI right?
