Because the main inventory is always accessible in all content, even battle content.
Whereas a separate inventory that is inaccessible during battle content (world zones and duty instances) results in less server strain, fewer databases that are being constantly accessed.
This is why you cannot access retainers, armoire, or glamour dresser except for in certain zones, why you can't access the saddlebag in instanced duties, and why you can't use a glamour plate in the field. Those databases are inaccessible, because various additional battle-related databases are being accessed.
So a crafting bag, an additional inventory space, similar to the saddlebag, but is only accessible within towns and housing zones, and can be accessed by the crafting system, could potentially be a solution where simply 'adding more inventory space' isn't.
