Mainly because soil test phos levels will get too high.
Also, my somewhat casual observations on a few relatively small areas where I have tried just what you are suggesting have led me to conclude that it isn't necessary. Timely water is the most yield limiting factor. I do think there is something to the culmulative effect of years of manure applications and drought tolerance.
