Because keeping a context stack is much, much harder than simply comparing the URI and local name of the element or attribute at hand with the one already in your code. And there's no guarantee it will be correct. Even if you expect a particular "p" element at a certain place in an XML document, there's no guarantee that an unnamespaced p element will be the one you want. Good luck if it uses a different content model.
