Because deceleration is not braking and conflating the two is extremely dangerous.
Think for more than 2 seconds plz
The issue is with regenerative braking and single pedal operation of EVs. Many vehicles today will essentially brake if you aren't on the accelerator.
Personally, I think it's a gap in design/regulation. But not as simple as brake pedals.
