Rendering it as a CGI cutscene rather than live in the game was done for one simple reason: The fact that there's no interaction makes a simple video sequence a lot less expensive in terms of code and disk space. You'd need another character model, another map, more textures, ETC... all for the sake of a 10 second video clip.
