That's an easy one:

Because VFP does not always been OOP. It started as clone of dBase, which implies structured programming, then it added OOP but maintaining it's roots and compatibility.
That's why you can have procedures and funtions out of classes, and the same is true for almost any programming language pre-OOP era.
