Not entirely true. You can receive a Type Rating and an ATP at the same time. The difference is that the ATP and Type Rating share the same PTS.
That being said. I'm not sure, but I do believe that since the MEI is about teaching and the ATP is about mastery of the aircraft/command authority, they'd want to keep them separate.

The ATP and the MEI are two different animals. One is about flying the airplane, the other is about teaching others to fly the airplane. The MEI isn't a pilot checkride. It's a teacher checkride. Accomplishing the maneuvers for the ATP doesn't satisfy the demands of the MEI, in which you observe others performing maneuvers, demonstrate some yourself, identify common errors, teach sample items, provide realistic distractions, etc.
The focus between the two rides is quite different.
