I would guess that the reason is to emulate the OSI model. The VH is defined by an IP address and port number, which are attributes of the TCP/IP layer. The ServerName is defined by a Host name, which is a header in the HTTP layer. The TCP/IP transport layer is more fundamental than the HTTP application layer so has to take precedence.
