I guess the answer is just that TypeInfo was invented before the D2 const system was in place. In Druntime/Phobos there are many things that aren't pure/const/nothrow despite they need to be. I suggest to file an enhancement request, with all explanations. And if you are good enough, even to create a GitHub pull request about it.
