My initial thought was that sometimes you want to install it to your hardware, not just a USB stick. If this is a finished install that lacks the installer, then you wouldn't be able to use it to install to a hard drive. I could be wrong tho.

Fair enough, but installing Tails onto your hardware is against the spirit of Tails.

You could write the image to your hard drive like you would your flash drive.

OTH, installing to your hard drive kind of goes against Tails’ ephemeral approach.

If you're looking for something Tailsesque for your hardware, have a look at Whonix. Tails is very much made with amnesia in mind.
