Because it would make `add-to-history` add to the minibuffer-local value
rather than to the callingbuffer-local value, as the comment explains:

  /* Add the value to the appropriate history list, if any.  This is
     done after the previous buffer has been made current again, in
     case the history variable is buffer-local.  */
