Because that takes out the gamesmanship that earns eBay money. People get carried away when they bid. They will bid their max, and then someone will outbid them. So they'll think about it for a while, and put in "just one more bid". Or they start getting competitive. Sniping bypasses that because they don't get time to think about it and decide "one more".
Why aren't public auctions silent? Because the seller makes more money when they aren't.
