That is because properties are not part of a function, but part of a symbol. And a symbol has all of function cell, value cell, property list and name. Those are disparate things. Storing information about the function in the property list scatters the information and makes it impossible to use the actual function rather than the referring symbol.
Could you please tell when this is practically a problem?
But we are talking right now about _functions_. And it is a mistake to consider the property list part of either variable or function: it has different scopes and is independent from both variable or function.
It has independent scope but is normally used for the variable or the function.
