Because GOTO is a wild-card, capable of redirecting to anywhere;
whereas break can only go to the exit of the loop (and in languages with
labeled loops, possibly the exit of an outermost loop -- cf: Ada), and
continue can only go to the next iteration of the loop (hmmm, does any
language have a continue that can go to the next iteration of an outer
loop?)
Granted -- allowing /multiple/ break/continue begins to look ugly.
