Because Org doesn't allow it. Anyway, it doesn't make sense to use
SCHEDULED here: "scheduled" has a special meaning in Org. You don't
_start_ working on a task every day. You could use plain timestamps.

Then, beware, it is a bug and it might be fixed one day.

It is probably because you don't need it. Syntax wise, SCHEDULED,
DEADLINE and CLOSED can only appear once, on the line right after the
related headline.

There is no limitation to the number of plain timestamps under a headline.
