Mainly because it is also their drinking water and a little "pond" would turn into an algae/bacteria infested little swamp in no time with partial water changes. Mine almost never poop in their water dishes but even then dishes get slimy and need to be scrubbed out after a few days (I am on well water which may have something to do with that, no chlorine or other additives to inhibit algae).
