If you allow gifting in the crown store, you are starting a crown - gold black market. It's good for the player but not so good for the company.

How is it bad for the company?
In the end the Clowns spent always have to come from Z, there is no other source... for them it does not matter in the least who pays the initial bill - as long as it is paid.

As long as it's gifting items, and not Crowns. As previously posted, someone could buy the 5500 Crown packs and then gift Crowns to players in smaller amounts for a higher price than they paid. It still wouldn't affect ZOS' bottom line, but the Crown Store isn't intended for players to make real money.
EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure that anyone would pay another player a higher amount for Crowns than what they could purchase themselves, so I'm not sure that people could really make money selling Crowns.

Surely people who intend to abuse gifting wouldn't want to wait a month, while someone who's gifting a good friend wouldn't have to wait at all. (Unless they just added said friend)
Edit: Of course, you would only be able to gift items, not crowns themselves.
