There are a few reasons.

Generally speaking, it makes assumptions that may not be satisfied.

For instance, it assumes that the driver will never have to work with
the ACPI PM domain, because the ACPI PM domain has a separate set of
callbacks for system-wide suspend and resume and they are not the same
as its PM-runtime callbacks, so if the driver is combined with the
ACPI PM domain, running pm_runtime_force_suspend() may not work as
expected.

Next, it assumes that PM-runtime is actually enabled for the device
and the RPM_STATUS of it is valid when it is running.

Further, it assumes that the PM-runtime suspend callback of the driver
will always be suitable for system-wide suspend which may not be the
case if the device can generate wakeup signals and it is not allowed
to wake up the system from sleep by user space.

Next, if the driver has to work with a PM domain (other than the ACPI
one) or bus type that doesn't take the pm_runtime_force_suspend()
explicitly into account, it may end up running the runtime-suspend
callback provided by that entity from within its system-wide suspend
callback which may not work as expected.

I guess I could add a few if I had to.
