Because a rear fog light is *not* supposed to be on all the time. You only turn it on when you're actually in very low visibility situations, like dense fog. With normal visibility it will annoy and confuse other drivers, it will be at least as bright as a lit up brake light, possibly moreso.

Oh and as for the switch, I'm planning to wire it to an ignition-controlled power source, so there won't be any concern about leaving it on to drain the battery.
