Q. Do you know why this is not suitable for aquariums?

A.  I did call the manufacturer and unfortunately, they didn't know exactly why it wasn't suitable. They speculated that was due to PH levels or contaminates. After looking online I found a video on "How to make river sand aquarium safe" and in the description, it mentions that it eliminates any parasites or bad bacteria. The process involves boiling the sand in water. See video below.
