Because you didn't read the man page? From the yum man page:
localinstall
Is used to install a set of local rpm files. If required the
enabled repositories will be used to resolve dependencies.
Maybe because localinstall and localupdate are not present in Yum
before perhaps v3.0.
Definitely not there in v2.2.2.
