Because you can't mistakenly select an extra paren or omit one in a 
lisp-aware editor. Whether its a commercial lisp IDE or emacs, you 
don't manually select s-expressions. You put your cursor/point at one 
paren and you tell the editor - with a keystroke or a mouse click - to 
find the matching paren and select everything contained between the two.
