I believe it's because most places don't have the capacity or existing designers to provide the support a junior designer needs to grow. They need people they can throw straight in at the deep end, but the supply currently doesn't meet the demand.
It's specifically because of this that we're taking a longer term view at Scott Logic and have a graduate programme (of sorts) to pick up the best junior designers and grow them into the big hitters we need. It's frustrating that other places who do exactly this for developers and other roles aren't trying to do it for designers.
