Because babel itself does not know the complete topology.

Theoritically, you could, however, build some piece of software which
would:
- connect to the socket of the local babel instance,
- build the local topology, discovering new neighbours,
- connect to the sockets of those neighbours (assuming they enabled it)
  and iterate the process, aggregating data.

I have no idea how hard it would be, let alone if this is possible at
all (is there enough information to aggregate things?).
