Because it is a single object, and thus only has one interior.
But you are only restricted to a single interior, it does not have to be 
homogenous. Media can have its density vary according to a pattern. The 
thing that doesn't make any sense would be for individual triangles of a 
mesh to have their own interiors. This has been explained many times, 
and is for fairly obvious reasons, I don't know why you don't understand 
it.
If different parts of your object are composed of different materials, 
you should probably be using a union of several meshes.

Just because you can't imagine an object whose inner structure is
defined/influenced by it's outer shape it doesn't mean that I don't
understand the limitations implemented in the code.
