For one reason only, because that's what the colors looked like in 1977. 

Come on, Darth Vader is solid black with no detail left. You can't seriously say that looks right or good or even "what it looked like in '77" Not a chance, no way.

Also,that's not what Mike Verta's version looks like and he has better sources to judge by.

Harmy actually addressed the differences between shadow detail on a print, and the GOUT:

Not surprisingly, Harmy's Despecialized Edition 2.5 more closely match the color references I have, than the GOUT in terms of shadow detail. In some ways the GOUT/Laserdiscs have really screwed up our perception of what details should or should not be enhanced for a theatrical version of Star Wars.
