Because the script runs on the server, and there's a network of
unknown distance and latency between the server and the client. To
make things even more complex, there are at 3 different network
protocol implementations (the whole network layer is abstracted.)
What you're asking for would be really, really hard to implement.

The goal of the pre-commit hook is to simply accept or reject a
commit. If you want to have a whole interactive thing, then have your
developers run the script on their client. (The pre-commit hook can
say somethng like, "commit rejected: run the interactive script to
fix your code.")
