Mainly because they have worked that way for \input for a long time


    foo^^20bar

I wouldn't expect ^^ notation to work,  Here you are looking before you
have loaded the format so ^ has catcode 12 and in places where ^^ does work
it is changed to a space very early \input a^^20b  is same as \input a b
and inputs a.tex and typesets b (and not the same as \input "a b" which
inputs "a b.tex"
