Maybe because JS files (specifically add-ons) run from the local filesystem are given escalated privileges compared to normal usage, perhaps for ease of development. I'm just speculating, though.
I think it’s a limitation on all extensions applied by Chrome/Firefox. My guess is to stop extensions from making you force install more extensions or something...
