Because that's the closest way we can approximate the real rule that requires them to be offered back to their original team before being traded or demoted. Implementing that would break the roster management AI badly, so instead we model the actual effect: players claimed on waivers rarely get sent down or traded. And it also prevents the cheap tactic of using waiver claims to collect players that you immediately trade away.
