The short answer is because I didn't know about \omit.
The longer answer is that what I do now is a direct descendant of what I
figured out to do back in 1996 or so. At that time, the options were
very different from what they are now. And there was a lot less
support/documentation for how to write music without barlines.

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who
make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the
mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the
spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.
St. Augustine, De Genesi ad Litteram, Book II, xviii, 37
