Nesting quotes was likely turned off for performance reasons... you get a lot of nests and it ends up pegging the database pretty severely.
BBCode is a widely used standard for forums. It's something that the forum software can parse and easily handle any mistakes (for example, by not closing tags). HTML, on the other hand, can be screwed up by users and result in a very badly rendered page. It's much easier to turn off all HTML than to try to only turn off select parts of it.
