I would say that the reason for that, is that IQ 15+ spells are quite powerful, and many of them are quite useful even if it takes a long time to cast them. So if you make them castable via book, then suddenly access to those powerful spells could be had by just buying (or obtaining) a book, rather than being a powerful learned wizard who actually mastered the spell.
