Because it's not always right. You're relying on a single set of computations to tell the user to change their oil without knowing what kind of oil is even being used. The system will generally tell you to change your oil at around ~5,000 miles, but depending on the oil you use, it could last a lot longer than that.

The manual states that there's a special break in oil. It's really nothing more than Honda factory oil mixed with an additive that makes it look extremely dark.
