There is simply insufficient uniform reflection of the green background strong enough to create a sustainable image of high quality. It would just keep fading out at the edges.
The reflection isn't a "CGI overlay" at all. The desk reflects the green enough for it to be keyed out, but the virtual set design includes a piece of darkened "glass" to create a reflection, in the right position to align with the real desk.
