Because then people could unethically cut them out of the conversation. If the relationship isn’t started by the recruiter who you’re letting rep you then they can’t start the convo. It even matters how long in the past you might have been submitted to or freelanced somewhere. There are rules in beginning the engagement.

There are also quite a lot of times that headhunters don’t actually have a specific job, they are waiting for a role to be opened for the purpose of presenting you.
Also possible they are working for an unattractive or unpopular place. They’ll withhold the information until they have you locked in by engaging with you and presenting you to their clients. That way, as CD mentioned, they can demand a fee.
