It is because I want to do more than this. I have plans to give witnesses other challenges to improve STEEM. Each challenge is only 1 vote. If people proxy their witness votes, it is all or nothing. Each person participating may want to only use one vote for the challenge and may not want to support a different challenge.
However I am not against proxy if someone wants to do that. Some of the supporters above have a number of people that proxy their witness voting to them, so it essentially already exists through them. The total voting power is actually higher that what is listed through those proxies. I just haven't bothered totaling those numbers. Also, there will be others not on the list that will vote once they have learned of the witness accomplishment. It can very well be a grand slam for a witness. They just don't know it yet.
