Because the type must be definite, of course!  Otherwise, how would
you know how much space to allocate for the object?

Consider the following type (as you've declared it above):

package P is
   type T (<>) is limited private;
private
   type T is limited null record;
end P;

Here's a little puzzle: how do you declare an instance of type T?
