Because in most cases, bonds could be a buy & hold strategy thus only risking inflationary losses. TIPS & iBonds would remove the inflationary aspect... but it is more for investors that will need to draw on the money in a shorter time frame, but want more of a return than can be achieved in cash equivalent investments.
