Because if you can't FizzBuzz, you definitely aren't going to be able to pick up the codebase in a satisfactorily short amount of time.

If you come in in gross clothes and swear, you're not going to fit the company culture.

If you're rude to your interviewer, you're not likely to be less rude to your other coworkers.

etc.
