Its the same reason you cannot go back and modify changes to a revision. Subsequent changes create new revisions, because edit summaries are not versioned its not possible to change them and maintain the chain

In Facebook it's possible to edit posts and comments after posting after a lot of users asked for it.
Why isn't it possible to change MediaWiki edit summaries after posting?
I tried looking for it in Bugzilla; I expected to find a two-digit bug for it, but I couldn't find any at all. Of course it's possible that I didn't look well enough.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Edit_summary just says that they can't be changed, but doesn't link to a discussion.
So is there any reason not to do it?
