Because it will amount to revenue loss to the government. The option for composition to traders has been given only because when they buy goods from the wholeseller they pay tax which is not eligible for ITC. So it becomes the revenue of the government. But in case of service providers of them have very less inputs and input services and hence there will be loss to government if the service providers are allowed to composition scheme.
Take example of rent from commerical buildings- if the service provider is given composition scheme he will pay only 1% instead of 18%. And in the form of inputs he has nothing through which government can make good the revenue loss.
Take example of a traders- when he makes purchases from a wholeseller he pays tax which is non inputable and hence the revenue loss is set off in that manner.

If composition scheme is brought for services providers government will have to give many exceptions/exculsions which will make the law more cumbersome and will cause many litigations also. Further you should apprecitate that in order to safeguard small business units government has given cap of 20 lakhs for GST registration.

I have not come across such PAN walas. Your question was about why services have been excluded from composition scheme and I think I have answered you fairly.
May be you can write a letter to GST council to consider your points and you may include this 20 lakhs PAN Wala Point in that.
