If they played in the Asian Confederation, then because the qualifying groups are organised geographically, they'd be up against Syria, Jordan, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, etc. I doubt FIFA (for all their faults) would let that happen any time soon...
Cyprus, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan also play under UEFA when they are geographicallly Asian as well.
