Because 5th gear would result in 160+mph roller speed which is a bit sketchy. The run would also take a really long time which would heatsoak the engine a fair bit. The idea of dyno testing in a 1:1 gear ratio is meaningless these days. Far more important is picking a gear that doesn't result in excessive torque to the tire or excessive speed to the roller.
