Because you totaly misunderstand the purpose of DMOZ possibilty to suggest a site.
First notice that DMOZ calls this "suggest a site" not "submit a site". If you want to use the word submit the most appropriate would be "submit a suggestion".
This is a very big and important difference.
With "submit a site" you would be telling DMOZ "here is my site please review it". But that is not the intention of DMOZ.
What they intend is: "he, I found a nice site maybe this is something DMOZ might be interested in".
The task of DMOZ editors is to build the directory. It is totaly irrelevant where they find the sites to add to the directory. They can use the pool of suggested sites or they can look in many other places. With some 10.000 new suggestions each day you realy need to stand out in that massive pool to be noticed. How can you be noticed? Very easy. Write a title and description that are compliant with DMOZ guidelines. These suggestions will be looked at much faster by many editors. If you didn't bother to follow these guidelines you might easely wait several years before an editor even looks at the suggestion. Why would the editors bother looking at a suggestion if the owner (yes, most of the time the owner or developer of a site will suggest it) didn't bother enough to make it a quality suggestion.
