Most likely because virtually all free researched tech bonuses only apply to the first tech. I mean the Ethopians get the Pikeman upgrade free, but not the Halberdier free. Likewise, the Malians get Gold Mining free, but not Gold Shaft Mining. The Turks getting both Light Cavalry and Hussar upgrades for free seems to be the exception to this rule.
