Because without the limitations, there be chaos. Teams could make trades on paper and using the 125% trade limitation, keeping making transactions to bypass the limitation.
For instance I can trade a player who makes $4m, for a player who makes $5m, then turn the $5m player into a $6.25m player, and him into a $8m player. At the end of the day you'd have turned a $4m player into an $8m player.
Technically that can still happen withe the one-for-one provision, but multi-player trades would make this MUCH easier and faster. It would allow teams over the cap just to constantly move players on paper, escalating their spending without limitations.
