Because to some ways of thinking, every violation needs a signal.
It's much like how hooking, tripping, hit to the head etc. were not in the NCAA book but were still used -- despite the admonition to "use only approved signals."
Then, one year they were added with the explanation "Information and aids communication and some officials have been using them and they are good." -- Well, if officials weren't using the "unapproved" signals, we never would have known how good they were.
