Because Windows is maddening at times! That Alt modifier key ... Windows thinks you want one of its commands done. And when working in Premiere, makes life ... Hades at times. I can't use Alt-only key shorts, if there's any Windows or Program keyboard options set to that combination. So I use double-modifier key shorts, say Shift/Alt-X, and always hit the other mod key first.
