Because that’s a rarely used answer for “when is that event?” If it’s a few weeks away, why use something like “in 24 days” rather than “3 weeks from now” (adding “on Wednesday” if more precision is needed)? If it’s close by, isn’t “Friday evening” or “Tuesday next week” way more often a better answer than “in 5 days”? I think “tomorrow” “the day after tomorrow” (and yesterday”) are about the only exceptions to this, but those you can easily glance from the current layout.
