Because the trials aim is not produce a 4K SDR broadcast, but to specifically test the BBC's end to end HLG production workflow and output.
Freeview and Freesat don't do 4K.
BT don't support HLG or HDR for their TV service as far as I'm aware - they only done one HDR test to a mobile app.
Although Sky are in the process of updating their boxes to support HLG I don't believe this is in the UK yet and they seem to be having some colour issues:

The change in colour to orange may well be caused by the Italian Sky Q box receiving the 4K HLG broadcast, which uses the BT.2020 colour space, and then the TV only displaying it in SDR using the BT.709 colour space. Something to look out for when (if?) we ever get F1 in HLG in the UK.

All customers with a Virgin Media's V6 box have at least 50Mbps and the box is HLG compatible so can get the content via the iPlayer. This is then restricted to TVs that can properly deal with the BT.2020 colour space to try and avoid the issue above for Sky.
