Because /sys/block happened before /sys/class did. Al Viro converted the block layer before I got the struct class stuff working properly during 2.5.
And yes, I would like to convert the block layer to use the class stuff, but for right now, I can't as class devices don't allow sub-classes-devices, and getting to that work is _way_ down on my list of things to do.
