Because uncommon glyphs don't count towards your alphabet - they can't "work" for you, as it were. It's more like finding some numerals (1, 2, 3) or rare abbreviation symbols here and there and then pretending like the system is behaving normally because you counted enough glyphs for an alphabet.
It's also more complicated than just making new glyphs, because where you gain [aiin], you lose the "glyphhood" of [i, n] and eventually [a]. You will end up with more "letters" at the end of the ride, but those are still appearing in very constrained positions, so you may need to reduce them again by considering positional variation.
