Same reason an inertial dyno is not a very good tuning
tool in many respects; when tuning in low gears, you
are only loading the engine with the inertia of the
vehicle.  Which means you are never placing it under a
full load for tuning purposes, unless you're climbing
a REALLY steep hill at the time.  Higher gear, longer
lever arm, more loading of the engine, a more accurate map.
