Because there were/are multiple possibilities of how either character can be the other.
 * -Since we only had Garnet for height comparison, RQ's stature made her believable as an authoritative figure.
 * -RQ's appearance is not like the other Crystal Gems; she looks more 'human-like', with the only oddity being pink hair.
 * -Her gem has been constantly comparable to having a diamond cut more than a rose quartz formation.
 * -She is viewed as a defacto leader by the audience and it was made a point that her past was secretive. We only know her through others and their storytelling can be taken with caution.
 * -Her multiple powers compared to the other Crystal Gems is still questionable. Why is a quartz soldier this powerful? Given Homeworld culture, something like that seems dangerous.
 * -And with the introduction of Steven's ability to project his consciousness into another body that leaves open the theory that PD and RQ 'switched' at some point.
