Perhaps because there are already trains on existing lines that stop, and can still be used?
Surely if defeats the point of a high-speed train if it has to keep slowing down, stopping, and then getting back up to speed again? We don't see that happening on the HS1, TGV, et al. That's like saying I want to catch a fast flight to New York from London, but it should stop in Manchester and Glasgow first, imho.
