Because they use what is called a dual-diagonal braking system.
Diagonal corners of the braking system are tied together. RF & LR for example.
This way you bleed the independant system sides together to eliminate the off chance of air or contamination in the system backflowing into components they share and staying in the system.
This is even more important on ABS equipped cars.
Also you want to change your brake fluid every 2 years anyway so there would be no reason to even want to do only one side (not that you should ever do only 1 side)
