From their perspective what's the difference? It would be better if after rebasing all resulting commits were tested automatically, but even if they were not - the offending commit is still wrong "in context".

Rebase can result in a long chain of commits that don't compile, which makes it impossible (or at least harder) to use automated bisect, or even semi-manual approaches like running a test case manually on each bisect step.
