Because an NDA can only prevent the disclosure of proprietary information. You can't place general knowledge under an NDA.
For example, let's say a company hires an employee and pays for them to learn how to drive a forklift (or whatever). They can't place "how to drive a forklift" under NDA to prevent that employee from driving a forklift at another company.

If there is substantial training involved you could require them to pay back a chunk of their training costs, but if it's incidental then I think it's just the cost of doing business.
