Because if that function has a return type, e.g.:
public function Foo bar()
Then you couldn’t grep for “function bar” because of the Foo.
If we used this syntax instead, which wouldn’t disrupt grep:
public Foo function bar();
It’d be inconsistent with normal function declarations which would have to have
Foo after function.
