Probably energy efficiency reasons.
When you're beaming in or out from the transporter room, that's only one "hop". When you beam from elsewhere to elsewhere (bypassing the transporter room; aka a "site to site transport"), you're actually beaming to the transporter room and then back to your destination, so it's two hops; you just don't materialize between the first and second hops.
