Because the info is transmitted via wire instead of mechanically through cables or hydraulic lines.

I have the same downshifting issue with mine, but it doesn't usually happen unless the hill I'm going up is real steep. I've found this cruise control seems to hold speed better on inclines than others I've used. The one is crysler's vans is horrible, it can vary by as much as 5 mph on slopes. One thing that might keep it from downshifting so much is turning off overdrive on hills... that way it only shifts down once.
