Because it violates the terms of service for many (most?) map servers. Which could result in you, all xastir users, etc to be denied service. Or to cause the service provider to give up, shut down, and spend their time and money on a different project.

Or it may not work because the map severs have some self defense mechanisms to prevent such a script from slamming the server (e.g. too many requests or Mb per unit time).
