Because Ada has constructs specifically designed to obviate the need for
heap.
When you have a choice between putting an object on the heap versus the
stack, you should choose the stack.
You could have easily done this:
Data : Array_Type (1 .. Data_Elements (File_Name));
begin
Load_Data (File_Name, Data);
Heap allocation is not necessary, nor is heap deallocation.
