Because at the high school level, unsafe things happen on kicks and adding the ability to advance by the kicking team just adds to the confusion and potential for injuries. (That is just my hypothesis.)

That rule applies at all levels up to the NFL, you can advance a fumble but you cannot advance a muff.
My thought is because possession does not change -- the kicking team retains possession, that is, ignoring PSK exception -- and a recovery is an advance by the kicking team ending the down.
