I think there are two reasons.  First, the government is nervous about
anyone encrypting anything.  This hampers their ability to listen in.

Second, if content is encrypted then it can't easily be verified to be
non-commercial.  Commercial licenses cost a lot more, and want to make sure
the ham license isn't abused by someone profiting from it.
