Because while you can back up things across ethernet, you cannot clone over a 
running OS on the target system. Firewire target mode works via the hardware; 
OSX is not running on the target computer.

This is the same reason you cannot repair the boot volume of the computer  with 
disk utility unless you boot from another volume.
