Why are all stick shift cars "H" shifters?

Can you clarify this for me? I ride a motorcycle and think that sequential shifting is vastly better shifting. Indeed, I love the idea in a car of clutch in (assuming that you aren't driving a PDK), two taps forward, clutch out, and bingo, I just dropped from 5th to 3rd gear. As for stop and go traffic, pulling the lever on an H gearshift to the neutral detante is easy, yes. But, so is pushing the lever all the way to the N.
But yeah, bigger concern is the synchros. Going from 6th gear to a stop means you have to engage each gear on the way down, and the synchros will just think you're a *****.
