Because we want (ideally) to compare apples to apples. The HB position complicates that comparison because Cooley gets receptions a TE wouldn't get. If a HB gets 10% of his receptions while lined at WR, that "inflates" his TE reception statistics. It's not a true apples-to-apples comparison.
However, like I said, I'm not sure that it makes a difference. Just food for thought.
