Probably some syntactical reason. If you allow arbitrary expressions inside string interpolation, you'd need to have some form of state in your lexer to figure out when to lex the characters into tokens or just keep them as raw characters. It's not so easy as looking for another brace, as you can have expressions that have braces (lambdas). Plus, string interpolation can then be nested, which you may not want.
