The block reward payout destination address is part of the coinbase that everyone is trying to mine. You can't have the actual block contain a list of all active miners; as the list of miners changes, the target coinbase hash changes too. There wouldn't be any incentive for anyone to try to mine a coinbase containing rewards towards other miners. That would just be giving away your block reward to others for free: If you are actually able to find a block before anyone else, you should have tried to find a block that maximizes payout to yourself.
