I'm not sure of the reason. Certainly, most pianists are capable of a basic understanding how the instrument works. I think they would do themselves a favor by learning a bit, especially any serious player. Some actually do make the attempt and are better off for it. It puts them in a better position to communicate what they want out of the instrument and what they can expect. I spend a fair amount of time educating my customers. I don't mind, I think it helps my business in the long run.

Is there any other instrument that is so very common, and so overwhelmingly complicated? And that's not even taking into account that pianists will get different answers to the same question posed to different piano techs.
