Well, it's doesn't make any programmatic sense for a start. They are static providing a common layer of functionality, to put them into a scope other than application or server (to a degree) just doesn't make any sense.
They can be very memory intensive so giving each "user" their own session CFC which is identical to ever other users doesn't make any sense as it would be needless consumption of memory space. You also cannot use replication with them in session scope (this may have been fixed in CF7/JRun updater, I know it was true before) "This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.

Blanket statements like that sound fishy to me is all, but if there's a good reason behind it... like maybe because lots of sessions can be created by a crawler, for example. (But that could be checked for an avoided.)
