perhaps a question of evidence?
It could be difficult to prove that somebody had picked a fruit or a flower, as they might argue that it was already lying, unattached, on the ground. If it is prohibited to collect such material, then that would not be a defence. Also, it would cover activities such as beating trees for nuts/olives etc. where fruit is collected as it falls onto a sheet on the ground. Plus, it would cover somebody receiving material that somebody else had picked.
