Because that's just the way it works. This confused me for a while, too. It is mentioned in the manual, although you need to read between the lines a bit.

"START/STOP starts and stops the sequencer; the RESET button will reset the sequence to step one if the sequencer is running or not running. While the sequencer is running, if you hold the SHIFT button when you hit the STOP button, the sequence will continue running until finished (according to the length of Sequence 1), and will stop AFTER playing step 1."

The "one shot" modes (N5I and N1R) work the same as SHIFT/STOP, step 1 will play again at the end.
