Because that distorts the results. Example: Some top-engines (Shredder for
example) play very strong against weaker amateurs, others not. With only 6
topengines in a list, that effect will be ignored...If you want to know, how the
engines improve their chess with more thinkingtime or on faster hardware, you
can look at the blitz-results and compare them with the results at 10+5. An
engine, that is stronger in 10+5 than in blitz (negative blitz-result in the
list (red column)), will be much stronger with longer timecontrols (60 or
soemwhat) or on a faster hardware, too (best example: Aristarch 4.6). An Engine
with a positive blitz-result will play weaker on longer timecontrols or on a
faster hardware (best example: Fritz 5.32).
