Or maybe you meant: "why are these files, which are automatically
generated using specialized tools, in the VCS, when the info files,
which are automatically generated using specialized tools, are not in
the VCS, but rather generated when needed and included in the release
tar-balls?"
It's an idea.
Some differences between the two cases:
makeinfo is smaller and easier to install than TeX
TeX installations are more variable than texinfo ones. Doing `pdftex
foo.tex', it's never exactly clear what you're going to get, in terms
of paper-size, fonts, etc.
