The reason is, the magnetic compass provides the best measurement of knowing the orientation or direction the boat is facing.
true wind is computed from wind sensors as well as speed sensors so the result needs a lot of filtering and can only be estimated slowly.
The true wind direction is assumed to change gradually so the compass provides a high-speed measurement of true wind.
