The main reason is simply one of dichotomy: either a substance is pure or it is not pure. If it is not pure then it consists of two (or more) substances which are chemically separate - a mixture.
Matter is classified as mixtures and substances. Mixtures are composed of two or more different substances that are physically combined, while substances are pure forms of matter that cannot be separated by physical means. Substances are further divided into elements and compounds.

Matter is classified as mixtures and substances. Mixtures are made up of two or more different substances that are physically combined, such as saltwater. Substances consist of only one type of atom or molecule, like elements (e.g. gold) and compounds (e.g. water).
A substance can be classified as a form of matter that has a specific chemical composition and properties. This includes elements, compounds, and mixtures. Examples of substances include water (H2O), salt (NaCl), and air (a mixture of gases).
yes matter can be both pure substances and mixtures
A mixture differs from a compound in that is not chemically bonded together. The mixture is generally mechanically combined, which may be as simple as stirring, or as intensive as using centrifuge to combine the parts.
Matter can be classified as either a pure substance or a mixture. Pure substances are further classified as elements (composed of only one type of atom) or compounds (composed of two or more types of atoms chemically bonded). Mixtures are classified as homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition).
A solution is considered a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances; solutions are generally liquids but sometimes solid. For gases the term is not so adequate.
A mixture.
Its a mixture
