Because bandwidth isn't free and Debian is. Thus, they want to minimize the
use of their bandwidth as much as possible. If you download all three ISO
images, you'll end up using a minor fraction of that since you'll likely not
install *every* *single* program on the 3 cds. So, in effect, you just
probably wasted over a GB of bandwidth that someone now has to pay for.
Why didn't you follow the website suggestions of alternatives to downloading
ISOs instead of lying? Or order from cheapbytes.com if you really *must*
have ISOs?
