Because the standard says so.

Actually why would you need an array of references? You have to initialise a reference on creation and once initialised it can not be changed to reference a different object. I suspect that an array of references would be a construct that would not be terribly useful while at the same time introducing a number of awkward problems for the compiler to get round and so was prohibited by the standard.
