Why?

Having lived near a ham I think I can answer that. Unless they are
shielded properly, a powerful ham rig will cause interference on
things like TV and radio reception. So hiding them makes it difficult
to find the culprit.

The problem is *rarely* the ham. Just tell the people with a problem to get
it fixed.
