I would imagine it is just because it would require more complexity in the kernel. One would need to create a queue of tasks to be performed during cleanup and have the path through the exit system call know to push work onto that queue. It sounds like there is an opportunity for someone to submit a diff to the Linux kernel for improving exit userspace latency.
