Mostly because it's so easy to add a category. Another thing is that one page typically belongs to several categories that can have different access mode. I think it's possible tom implement per-category access but there will be many interesting nuances.
The funniest thing I can think of is when I'm editing the page and add the category to which I don't have the view permissions. I click Save and my article dissapears from the view :) . Of course it's solvable, but I suspect there is a lot more similar cases that will require some additional efforts. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

I propose to split the topic and discuss the creation of ACL for MW in this thread.
I see three sub-tasks here:
- Writing a good proposal of how ACL should work. Will it be based on
namespaces? or maybe categories (although it's hard to imagine)? or maybe per-page access? I can help to describe this vision document.
Yury, why is it hard to imagine per-category access? :-)
