there's no reason that I can think of.
the only issue might be that the cutout for and overmount (self-rimming) sink is larger than one would be for an undermount and would make the piece that the cutout is in weaker.. but once installed, I'd think they would have the same integrity. Why this would be a concern with stainless and not a porcelain sink is beyond me.

I had the choice to install stainless steel sink overmount or undermount on black granite countertop. I chose overmount because it's classic and I know it has always been looking great for years. Undermount, well, maybe it's not that 'in' anymore in few years, who knows!

The only reason I can figure out is based more on style than practically. Most people, since they have spent the extra money on granite, want to complete the upgraded counter tops with an ungraded sink. That's why they want the undermount sinks so that they compliment the expensive granite.

you probably can but it will take away from the granite. it's like buying a mercedes and putting nasty bumper stickers on it...it will look a little tacky and cheap. go for the undermount, you'll be happy. and you can sweep crumbs and stuff right into the sink!. so convenient!
