'Cause plot, to put it simply. Would have probably been a smart idea, but an Uchiha as a jinchuuriki would have been overpowered as hell (cue Obito and Madara)... Perhaps they didn't choose an Uchiha as a jinchuuriki just for the sake of balance, with one person having the tailed beast and another person having the doujutsu to tame the tailed beast, as someone with both powers would have probably been untamed and uncontrollable (again, cue Obito and Madara).
