Because then where would you draw the line? Class-based XP penalties were removed later. They just served to aggravate players (mostly hybrids). Why include those in P99? Because you can't cherry pick. This server is about recreating Classic EQ as close as possible, aside from differences in the client and player experience/knowledge that they clearly have no control over.

And that means taking the bad with the good. Not just cherry picking the good things.
