I think this is why.

Using the periscopes you have no way to stabilize it.

Using the binoculars, your body becomes the stabilizer. You have a similar swiveling facility with the UZO. On a ship you keep your elbows free when using binoculars. If you were to lean on the rail, the binocs would bounce all over the place like the periscope.
