I suppose one cannot model all the nonlinear characteristics of every
microphone. The nonlinear part might be very small though compared to
linear characteristics which can me modeled i.e. vs. convolution.

Another reason might be the different directional characteristics
(sorry, dunno the correct english word), but i could imagine measurement
mics are available with different directional characteristics, too.
