I think the answer is simply "because it's not needed".  In contrast,
when we do have to change the selected window, we have to pay attention
to the point/window-point correspondence which makes it necessary to set
the buffer.  Of course, this necessity could be made just internal.

IOW, it's mostly accidental.
