C# iterators are state machines internally. Every time you yield return something, the place where you left off should be saved along with the state of local variables so that you could get back and continue from there.

To hold this state, C# compiler creates a class to hold local variables and the place it should continue from. It's not possible to have a ref or out value as a field in a class. Consequently, if you were allowed to declare a parameter as ref or out, there would be no way to keep the complete snapshot of the function at the time we had left off.
