Because the terminal-ish story content strewn about Halo 4 isn't diegetic; it is only presented to the player, not the characters.
Or something. Maybe.
Halo 3's terminals play around with the extent to which they exist in the game world. The last one seems like it might be addressed to the Chief, and Cortana is obviously aware of its presence, but the terminal also comments on the player's choice of difficulty level.
That stuff was executed well. 343i needs to improve their terminal-handling skills.
