Because software have bugs, even filters, whereas physical separation is not prone to the same errors.
A filter can stop working or work incorrectly, but a repo separation does not start to install from a deactivated or removed/not imported repo. Nor will a bug suddenly activate or add a nonfree repo.

That's not an easy task for commandline users. &quot;urpmq -i foo&quot; does not show the license tag.
