Because the same functionality was already in Custom with 

	(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(display-type . mono))

as I explained at the time.  The difference at the time was that
Makefile mode also checked `display-type' directly, so the above would
turn off colors in both Gnus and Makefile mode, while Mr. Rats patch
only affected those packages whose faces were under control by custom.

However, my judgement at the time was that eventually Makefile mode
would also be customized (and indeed, it have), so adding the extra
complexity of a new user variable, which would only hold temporary
value, and only to a single user, would not be cost effective.
