Because PC relative loads with the wide format aren't automatically 
aligned to a 4 byte boundary by the processor, and the instruction set 
is a variable length 16bit ISA like thumb-2.

There were a few other issues that were highly annoying too, but I can't 
remember what they were. Other than that the ISA was beautifully simple.
