Because the logical grouping makes the most sense to the author of the code, not the person who has to learn or maintain it. Are local variables allocated on-the-fly on the stack or does the compiler preallocate the space on entry? If I have to delve into a crashdump, having the variables on the big entry allocation has been very helpful in the past.
