Because you cannot, in general, embed an arbitrary transform into the circle's parameters (center and radii). Actually a move only could be embedded into cx/cy, but since other transforms cannot, we didn't special-case translation (although this is possible, and is done e.g. for rectangles - so if you desperately need that, you can submit a patch).
A symmetric circle or disk can obviously be rotated around an arbitrary center, or uniformly rescaled, by changing at most its center and radius.
But even a symmetric circle cannot be skewed by changing its centre and radius.
