Because it's the subject line, and everyone knows that once you set a policy, subject lines can never, ever lie.

but how do you ensure that the subject line continues to reflect the drift in the content?

An old but effective way of handling digressions is to change the subject
header. The reader not interested in the digression can then easily
skip messages that deal with it.
Making use of subject headers has the additional virtue that it allows
one to skip on-topic messages belonging to threads in which one is not
interested. Not everyone on the list is interested in everything that
falls within the scope of the list.
