Because they are designed not to be interchangeable.  You can *exchange* one for the other, by finding someone willing to trade - just like you can exchange dollars for euros - but the exchange rate will vary.  You can't take 1 BCC and "transfer" it into 1 BTC.

Yes, Bitcoins are the same no matter where you bought them, and you can transfer them anywhere you want.

(One thing to watch out for, though, is that Bitcoin Cash is a different currency from Bitcoin, and you can't directly transfer one to the other.)
