Because that's not what the CD is for. The CD is made first and foremost
to be a clean and known-good host on which to build LFS. As Chris
mentioned, if all you want is the book, you can download a tarball of
that on the site. And if you also want the sources, you can grab a
tarball of all of them combined from the ftp sites. It makes no sense to
download the extra 300 Mb or so on the CD just so that you can have the
book and sources all in one shot and never actually use the rest of the
data.
