I would say primarily because that was a state imposed upon them when they unconditionally surrendered to the Allies in 1945, and ensconced in their Constitution.
Changing that status is largely a matter of diplomacy, until it isn't.
I was referring to the JDF, which is allowed. It's a form of military whether they like it or not. I just find it silly that they're restricted to defense only, and can't help out in allied invasions (unless they are, i haven't looked into it to be honest.)
