Because it would be a massive breaking change, and the throw statement
might be conditional (e.g. depend on preprocessor macros, or
platform-specific properties, or template arguments ... only the last
of those is convenient to put in a conditional noexcept-specifier).

That doesn't seem like a great rationale for breaking millions of lines of code.
