Simply because Linus does his personal development in /usr/src/linux/.
I personally'd much prefer to distribute the sources in in a directory linux-<version> and to symlink /usr/src/linux to the actual sourcetree in use. This would then also be a bit more consistent with the GNU coding standards which are already being used by lots of other Linux related software, not only GNU stuff.
