I don't know if there are any technical reasons, but I
would want the check there for the peace of mine of the
user.  Let's say you start to edit a crontab, and then
really screw it up due to some typos or something.  You
know it's screwed up, so you just want to bail out.
You type  :q!
and you then see the message "installing new crontab".
You then think -- "Oh no!  What just happened?!?"

In that situation, I would rather keep the current
behavior, where you see  "no changes made to crontab".
