I am curious what these obvious reasons are.

To the best of my knowledge the (mods|site)-(available|enabled) system
that Apache uses is something in Debian that has diverged from
upstream. At least insofar as their configuration doesn't use it by
default. The ability via the include directive is, of course, part of
upstream.
