Word count and space limits. Each extra column on the table adds significantly to the wordage. A SM+4 column would have been nice, but there was just not room for it.

Also, the key figure is loaded mass - dimensions can change. If you can heavily load a star fleet shuttle, you might get its mass up to that value...
