Because if you set nonhierarchical_direct on, then going via a peer on
nonhierarchical requests is not an option to Squid.

nonhierarchical_direct off disables the special forwarding selection
normally used for "nonhierarchical" requests, instead making Squid
select the forwarding path in the same manner for both kinds of
requests.
