Because you can use 'copy-rectangle-to-register' (C-x r r REGISTER) to
save a copy, and 'insert-register' (C-x r i REGISTER) to insert it.
However, it's easy to roll your own:
(defun kill-rectangle-save (start end)
"Save the region-rectangle as the last killed one."
(interactive "r")
(require 'rect) ; Make sure killed-rectangle is defvar'ed.
(setq killed-rectangle (extract-rectangle start end)))
