Because having just an html file can just be simpler and html files are more ubiquitously rendered. Personally having a single html file with base64 encoded images embedded into it serves 99.9% of what I usually want to do when wanting to have a webpage saved offline. Such a file can be eg be put in my dropbox and rendered in dropbox web interface which makes it easy to share with others. I have actually made a script that looks for image tags in an html file on my computer, looks in the local directory location for them and base64 embeds them in the html file itself, so this seems to simplify the process.
