The reason is to allow return to the manual with minimal fuss. As the
user who invokes "?" is very likely to be a newbie to Emacs, having
them to deal with buffers and windows at this point is unwise, to say
the least.
For the same reason, the first screenful displayed by "?" should show
all of the essential commands, leaving the next screenful to show the
advanced and more rarely-used ones.
I'm not saying I object to adding more keys to scroll the display
there, but the simplicity of going back to the manual should be
preserved.
