Because to do that effectivly you'd need to check it on every occurnce of where it was going to be used on the page. Ontop of that, theres no saying that a remote image isn't dyanmic just because it has a .gif / jpg / png / bmp extension, webservers can be configurted to run .gif as a php extension

To do that on EVERY page load would be insane and a waste of system resources I'd think.
