Because you only need one URI.

Why would people be typing in city names at random? If they don't check the
canonical list on openguides.org, then they might as well go shoot at the
moon for all the good it will do them.

So you only tell people about one of them.

I don't have a bookmark for OpenGuides, because it used to be at a URL I
could remember. I type in "openguides.org/London/". Then I curse and
edit it.
I do this pretty much every time I want to look at the site.

I'm sorry, but if I were to make with parallel URLs for everyone's
personal muscle-memory quirk, then things would become very tiresome for me
very quickly.

I've typed the former instead of the latter and got a Not Found.
Admittedly it's probably only me that does that, but still, if it's
not hard to fix, it seemed like a nice idea.
