Sebastián | This has a good reason actually. Sub fouls are often only seen after some time has passed and it is noticed there are only 3 subs in the box. Now we all want the deck ref to be watching for surface fouls and three sets of orange gloves, so they hit the buzzer in a timely manner. If they need to divert their precious attention away from the game to determine there is actually a player (or four) under the water but in the sub box it is potentially detrimental to their performance carrying out their other duties. As well there is always the potential of the ref looking over seeing 3 heads and buzzing because they rightfully thought there were too many in the playing area.
