Because anaconda's stage1 (initrd) doesn't know how to assemble 
LVM/mdraid/dmraid/whatever crazy thing your root partition is on. 
So install.img needs to be on something that stage1 can read.

Conveniently, GRUB also requires a non-LVM partition - /boot!
So that's the only place we can reliably put it.
