Because you would need to check every message against a hash map of disallowed private APIs.

The performance degradation would be so significant it would render many apps and most of the OS unusable.

Or not allow all apps to send messages to the objects that host those private APIs. Again, unless I don't understand how the message passing system works in objc/swift. (most of my knowledge of the internals comes from reading blogposts on nshipster.com years ago)
