Two reasons: guessing stage directions is inherently speculation, and transcripts traditionally transcribe audio with minimal stage directions.

Stuff like "It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville when..." is an in-universe-perspective description, and other stuff like "Twilight took the cake that she ordered the previous day for Pinkie Pie" is speculation.

It's all around simpler and more accurate to describe the dialog and give the briefest possible descriptions of other sounds and nothing but the barest stage directions, like [to Twilight] or [offscreen].
