Also becuse the horn isn't official, but when you blow your whistle and beckon them in they become players wich offect stuff like to whom a technical is charged (player insted of coach). But mostly becuse there is no horn when we go to report a foul, if there were I would agree with eg-italy that this is a terrible mechanic. But when there is no horn I like it
Well, the horn is official (although in Italy they use whistles also at the table ). It's the beckoning-in signal which turns a sub into a player, not the whistle.

Ciao
