Because it was meant to do many things.

It's technically possible to connect two serial ports, sound in and sound
out through the interconnect port. It would have formed the heart of a
docking cradle, if one had ever been made. Unfortunately apple pulled the
pin before that ever happened. I have thought about making an all singing,
all dancing interconnect adapter, but I always seem to have something more
important to do....
