Because not all information is hierarchical. In particular, with text there are often several concurrent (overlapping) hierarchies. The most obvious is the section structure versus the pagination structure. But it's easy to find other examples: in Shakespeare, the boundaries of "speeches" (defined by who is speaking) overlap with the boundaries of "lines" (defined by the metre of the poetry). And if you mark up a document with change markings, the start/end of changed sections bear no relationship to the logical structure of the text.
