Because traffic leaks reduce conversion ratios. Link trades, reciprocal links for directory listings, etc. are a necessary trade off to gain additional traffic, but they gain nothing for the affiliate. Same goes for links to clip stores, etc.
A few traffic leaks on a tour isn't a deal breaker for me, but all things being equal I'll send more traffic to a site with a leak free affiliate tour.
