I described the reason why in the first part of my response. To create a difference from ordinary combat affinities and to grade its effectiveness based on the "truth-value" of the target.

You might want to reread Thunder Rebels because it doesn't allow feats to migrate beyond affinities. The example is given there of Govoran who moves from Orlanth to Humakt p73. Although the referee is nice to him and allows Govoran to use his old combat affinity (which is a mistake as Humakt only has sword combat), he does not allow the Orlanthi combat feats to be so used.

Again, the issue is not the affinity but the feats.

They could. But that wasn't the question asked.
