Probably because a sack is definitive and a pressure isn't. You can't have a successful play on offense with a sack. You can have a successful play with the QB under pressure if the QB can mitigate the pressure.
Well said, I agree.
A QB has a lot to do with sacks allowed. A mobile QB can avoid pressure by moving away from it. A non-mobile QB can get rid of the ball quickly. A mobile QB that gets rid of the ball quickly is better yet. If you have a QB without mobility and is slow to get rid of the ball sacks become a norm.
NFL.com, for example, keeps stats on qb hits. I think that's a made-up objection. Several sites keep stats on hits and hurries.
AD leads the league in qb pressures. The people keeping tabs on this know a hit or hurry when they see one and so do we.
