Because that's how the two protocols are defined as working.
[Sorry Wes - read the question again]

The only way that can SNMPv1 report non-existent instances (or
objects) is via the error 'noSuchName'.
SNMPv2c extended this handling to introduce two "exceptions"
(noSuchInstance, and noSuchObject).  These don't count as full SNMP
errors (so the agent can report partial results).
