Because even ultra high performance all season tires do not have enough of a contact patch and/or grip and/or speed rating to allow the Z to run at its intended performance level on dry road.
It is also generally understood that driving any sports car in snow is both dangerous and unnecessary. The idea is that if you want a performance car that you'd either have another car for winter (because even with snow tires you can't exactly drive the Z normally whereas most other cars will handle perfectly fine).
