I guess the reason is that scholarly editions, such as the "Penguin Classics" series, tend to be read by people who are already familiar with the plot, hence the concept of "spoilers" doesn't really apply. The introduction in such editions is telling you the things you should be looking out for as you read, so it is something you want to read before the actual book.
