most prominent argument seems to be waiting for more usage:
„
Other tags are used to indicate areas with trees 700x more frequently than 
landcover=trees
It is not be our aim to push new tags against existing ones in pursuit of more 
systematic key semantics
Current tagging practices for areas with trees are messy, with different people 
having different views on what the tags mean. This limits what you can infer 
from the data.
this switch would have a huge impact on many map styles
