Because as a user of semver, I am not checking for breaking changes. I'm checking if I need to update because of a bug.
As a user updating my software it's nice to know the gist of an update at a glance.
As a piece of software looking for breaking changes, it is unnecessary to consider.

If you're on version 1.0.1 of my software, and I update to version 1.1.0 and then 1.1.1, have I fixed a bug that exists in 1.0.1? There's no way for you to know based on the version number. Knowing whether you need to update because of a bug is something you can only find out from change logs, not from version numbers.
