Because it is easier to press the same key twice than another key.
See for example how many people support freeing C-z while keeping its
current behavior on C-z C-z.

I don't understand the suggestion anymore then. What would the
C-\alpha keymap look like? One package on C-\alpha a, one on C-\alpha
b, etc? Or just one on C-\alpha?

The choice of a different second key than the prefix C-\alpha. Besides
keeping the valuable repeated binding free, it also allows to have the
same key across keymaps.
