Because she was the only person at the time to've turned down a seat on the Federation Council and serving as first officer on the Enterprise would have started her on the road to having the status to be in that position.
Must've been one hell of a road block.
And true that Beebo; I never understood why they didn't just do some early exploration and make it more about the ship and placement of Earth in the Federation. Remember when TOS first encountered Romulans, they'd not had ship to ship visual before, so didn't know what they looked like. And when TNG first encountered those drunken Ferengi, they had no idea what they were or how to deal with them.
