Because making it permanent means HFs or ossification. Q2 is answered in the BIP - https://image.nostr.build/e750c8287cd54d8e863726c52d7402e80e53991c0dec2a1ac3390fa3477c133f.jpg https://image.nostr....

@Bitcoin Mechanic, to expand on my last comment: the need for it to be temporary seems solely tied to the desire to disable unused segwit versions. I think there is a good case for not doing that. Specifically, policy already filters these transactions. If, as @Dathon Ohm is anticipating, spammers start using unused segwit versions, a successful soft fork would force Core’s hand and make them adopt the traditional stance on filters, if only to protect upgrade hooks. What are your thoughts on this?

I think we're not about to do any other soft fork upgrades in the next 12 months anyway. And leaving holes open of that nature isn't worth it in current context.
