Simple: They want you to buy what they are selling, not what you saw elsewhere.

The difference, as I understand it, is that Canon USA will provide warranty service on gray market items but Authorized Canon Service facilities may not. In my case, there's a Canon USA facility that's not much farther than the nearest Authorized Service shop, so gray market is fine for me. If I had to ship my equipment off to a distant location for warranty service, I'd think twice before purchasing gray.
