Various websites suggest it was because TfL were not getting
powers to look after motorways, and they would have had to stay

In 2000, all roads within Greater London were transferred to a new body,
"Transport for London". Unfortunately, whoever wrote the legislation made
an error, and TfL have no power to be the authority in charge of
motorways...
