The technical reason varies between them but they all have the same desire to avoid this exact situation. They make their money from people visiting the site directly and hotlinking defeats that.

Just a heads up, try to avoid hotlinking from the booru sites.
They stop working pretty soon after you've posted.
My suggestion would be to use http://catbox.moe/ to upload the full version. Ideally not the sample version they preview.
