I could well be wrong, but my guess would be: because dumpvar.pl is kind of a
mess.  I would hope that we'd be open to improving it iteratively over time,
and not take its existing formatting as set in stone.

(The dumper to be used by perl5db.pl is actually configurable, but this doesn't
appear to be documented, and it might not really work as such.)
