Because American Sign Language is it’s own language that has it’s own unique grammar and syntax. Also there is a large number of deaf people who don’t read english well because of educational barriers for deaf people (particularly deaf children born to hearing parents). So as far as accessibilitiy goes having an interpetor is more effective.
