One semi-serious reason: code maintainability. I once worked on a large  
NeXTStep app where heavy use had been made of perform and it made the  
code difficult to understand because it wasn't always readily apparant  
just what method was being performed. (It also messed up the profiler,  
although that's not relevant to Java).
