Basically because the main commons-httpclient didn't maintain API compatibility, and nobody seemed to want to do the work of keeping it in sync with commons-httpclient, so we just imported a copy. If the neccesary updates were done (and kept up to date for future API changes!) we'd be happy to switch to using the main commons-httpclient.
