Because to make something illegal after the fact is highly dangerous and encourages abuses of power. That's why ex de facto laws are near universally illegal in not only Real Life, but most of the other Feeders and Sinkers.

There is no reason to create a law and then to use that law to criminally convict an individual for committing a once legal action that occurred prior to the passage of the law, but is now illegal. Well, actually, there are reasons, but they're all unethical: mostly corruption of power, abuse of the system, personal grudges, and general spite. Do we really want our Justice System to devolve into a sort of weapon for the politically strong to use against the weak?

Having a dysfunctional court system in the past doesn't make injustice excusable now.
