Because there's a weighing up of the usefulness of a feature vs the potential abuses.

Trades between players serve a useful purpose that outweigh the potential for misuse. (Blocking it would here be the equivalent of blocking all private messaging in any form. For what it's worth, you can't trade in instances either.)

Private messaging within an instance serves less purpose because there are other ways you can communicate with your party and there's no need for that privacy just to organise what the party is doing.
