Mainly because gitweb can't show the commit in most convenient (IMHO) way, with everything on one screen. I like the way gitk does it, when you can see all at once - list of changed files in the lower right pane and commit message with links to parent and child commits and diff in the left.

And with gitweb, those links to related commits must allow somehow to highlight those commits on the diagram, wich means that gitweb must be made aware of the frame that it's embedded in, and must be able to call some javascript there. Eventually I will add interaction with gitweb in some way or another, but for now, it's easier for me to just show the commit.
