Because it's for the children and there's no law that says longer barrels are illegal - it's a byproduct of the longer barrel not an add-on to achieve the same thing - If you take a 22 short and shoot it out of 4 inch , 6 inch, 10 inch, 24 inch it just naturally keeps getting quieter - same thing here - but if I add a Suppressor onto the 4 inch barrel to make it sound just like the 24 inch barrel I need a $200 tax stamp of approval as the device that I added to the barrel altered the sound character of the 4 inch barrel - ATFE has in the past gotten convictions for people who put devices on the end of the barrel and it actually raised the noise that the barrel put out but ATFE proved that the maker was trying to make the barrel quieter - that fact that he made it louder didn't get him out of breaking the law as his intent was to make it quieter....
Ain't our Laws fun to look at.
