Because the officials have to call a fair game. They have to know whether the offense gained at least 10 yards. The officials don't want to give the team a first down unless it gained EXACTLY 10 yards or more.

If the ball is fumbled and rolls past the first down marker is it a first down?
A fumble is down when the recovering player is down or when the ball goes out of bounds...so yes, if the ball is fumbled forward and recovered by the offense, or goes out of bounds, past the first down marker, it is a first down.
