So the reason why would because they want to. If they want to run around as a goblin, orc, any race aside from their own...they should be able to don't you think? Basically as it stands, if someone wanted a certain illusion even though it is cosmetic and doesn't provide anything other than that, they now have to carry a large qty of this item, and cycle through illusions to find the form they wanted EVERY time they zoned...
Since, as I said, there's no way at present to prevent the illusion from randomly changing whenever you zone, making the drink persist across zoning still wouldn't let people keep the illusion they want. If anybody desperately wants to look like (for example) a dark elf all the time then there are quite a lot of options, all the way from rerolling as a dark elf to befriending an illusionist to doing the mask of the deceiver quest to getting a petrified dark elf eye, all of which options will let them look like a dark elf across zones and camping. Every single illusion this drink can give you is available in other ways that do persist across zones. This particular drink being just a fun fluff item, does not prevent anyone who actually wants to use those illusions long-term from going out and getting a way to do so.
