They didn't give a reason, but I suspect it has to do with Fjtorres logic. Some authors change prices monthly and they may vary price changes from one country to another. I would prefer that the tax be added in such a way that I don't have to worry about it, but it is a rather large jump in pricing so some indies may want to keep their prices lower to be attractive to buyers looking for low prices. Pricing in indie-world is very competitive, which is why there are so many freebies or 99 cent sales.
When an author isn't just at Amazon, it gets even more complicated because there are different retailer rules, different commissions, lots of passwords to track...lots of spreadsheets...
