Because they are set "requestable no" in the complex definition.

You mean to specify a load of a job?

If you would request load_avg, it would be the absolute load of the system as 
an average of the last 5 minutes. How would this lead to a good distribution of 
jobs, especially as uninterruptible kernel tasks might add load to the system, 
despite the fact they are waiting in state D.

This is the reason I also suggest to look for another critera in case you want 
to define a load_threshold for a queue.
