Because minibuffer input can easily create one or more additional
windows, e.g. to show the completion candidates, and we don't want
that to be left on display when you exit the minibuffer.
My recommendation is not to "abuse" the recursive editing; the ELisp
manual rightfully warns against that, albeit indirectly. If you
frequently need ti switch away of the minibuffer without exiting it, I
suggest to use a separate frame for your excursions: when exiting the
minibuffer, Emacs only restores the windows on the frame where you
entered the minibuffer (assuming you aren't using minibuffer-only
frames).
