Why? The fact that she's Pink Diamond's has been hinted at through the entire series. She has pink hair, has a literal pink diamond insignia on some of her clothes... Plus we actually know Pink Diamond, and as of yet there's zero guarantee that White will ever even appear on the show. If they're going to keep Pearl's gem a secret for so long, doesn't it make more sense that it's one we've already MET and heard quite a bit about? To have it be someone who's never been on the show and might never be on the show would be terrible writing, speaking AS a writer myself. Besides, her being Rose Quartz's pearl adds so much more to her character, because now we don't even know if her "love" for Rose was real or not. For all we know, for all SHE knows, her entire belief system could be a lie. There is so much there to work with, in terms of telling a good story. Her being Pink's is just better in every way than her being White's, ignoring all the plot holes caused by Pink ALSO being Rose.

Like, this is WHY the fans don't get to write the show. Her being White's would be so stupid, and I can't see them being able to write it well. Even her being a Diamond's pearl at all is kinda dumb, because it assigns too much importance to her character just for the sake of her being a protagonist; it's just barely saved by the fact that Pink also happens to be Rose. There's no reason she had to belong to anyone important, and it's kinda cliche that she does. But if they were going to go in that direction, they did it the best way they could have.
