why should freestyle swimming prohibit this style of swimming?

The official reason? Safety concerns (from oxygen deprivation) and the fact that people swimming underwater makes for a less spectator friendly sport. There might be some other unofficial reasons, but not sure what they might be. My guess is that the spectator angle is the main reason.
