Same reason the holder is not considered down even though he has the ball and his knee down

There's an exception

Yeah, I figured that... Just wanted to see how it was written in the rules.

You're not down when your knee is down in the NFL.

Also, I believe if the holder wanted to throw a forward pass, the ball must touch the ground first before the holder can attempt the pass.
