Here is the technical reason:
If you use a Solomonoff prior nearly any utility function will not have a well defined expected value, i.e., trying to calculate it will give ∞ − ∞.
Or basically trying to take all possible versions of Pascal’s mugging into account makes expected utility calculations mathematically incoherent.
