Mostly because I heavily doubt SE is able to put two different maps into the same queue without the use of a roulette. And looking at frontline roulette, people actively discourage you from using it "because it might put you in a dead queue".

There's also the balancing issue of note: Different maps are either carbon copies of each other ooor have different terrain/gimmicks which favor specific classes/abilities and next you know people blame the map on their lost promotion. Worst case even rightfully so - Knockbacks for example are far more powerful in a map with ring-outs and that might well make the difference.
