It is because it is part of the Chip RAM buss, and must go through the Gary and Agnus lines before the CPU. The expansion slot on the left is interfaced directly to the CPU's buss. Adding RAM to the 'chip' buss that won't be used as actual chip memory is kinda putting your money in the second- or third-best place.
