I'd guess this is to make the crop tool's use consistent with the rectangle/ 
ellipse selection tools, where pressing modifier keys _before_ switches the 
normal/add/subtract/intersect mode, so pressing it afterwards was 
still "free".  And, btw, there's nothing lost if you can press shift as late 
as you want, but you win the ability to decide on the final shape until you 
let go of your mouse button.
