The simplest answer to "why" is that it's standard IETF style – idnits complains if you have citations in your abstract, like so:

  ** The abstract seems to contain references ([RFC4271], [RFC6793],
     [RFC1997]), which it shouldn't.  Please replace those with straight
     textual mentions of the documents in question.

(See https://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ or click the "Nits" link in the upper right-hand corner of the tools.ietf.org copy of the draft.)

The source of authority for idnits is the IESG, you can follow the links from the idnits page, to https://www.ietf.org/id-info/checklist.html requirement 3.1.B and https://www.ietf.org/ietf-ftp/1id-guidelines.txt section 6:

   An Abstract should be complete in itself, so it should contain no
   citations unless they are completely defined within the Abstract.

You'd have to ask the IESG if you wanted to know why they made this decision, but perhaps it's to keep the abstract as brief and to the point as possible? Almost by definition, anyone ready to dive into the references should be reading the main body of the text, and not just the abstract. I can say that prior to this guideline (and even subsequent, alas) some authors have seemed tempted to put the entire meat of their document into the abstract, which rather defeats the point. It's just supposed to be a teaser.
