I can well imagine that a government would limit land ownership to citizens, as an extension of the idea of defense of the nation. We might want to limit immigration and communications electromagnetic spectrum (radio and t.v. channels) based on the same idea.
Another reason: ease of ability to apply the court system of the nation to citizens, as opposed to foreign holders.
