Given that a document is under a license that permits modification, any redistributor could add anything and then say that removing it would hurt his or her moral rights. Any license trying to allow modification/removal of such sections would run a higher risk of being ruled invalid as a whole because these are inalienable rights. So by having no possibility for invariant sections in a documentation license, all you do is increase the possibility that it will one day be ruled to be invalid as a whole.
