Because it will be easier for _other_ people to review and improve the
package.  It might take some more minutes on your side to send your package
(though I _really_ doubt it, once you know the basics, which are five
commands at most).

I.e., when a developer sees a package attached to a PR, he has to fetch
it, unpack it, review it (often the most time-consuming part, because
many packages omit many pkgsrc "policies") and commit it, all at once.
In pkgsrc-wip, all these things can happen at different times, and by
different people.
