Because you say so? According to the FDL, dedications can certainly
be secondary sections and thus invariant sections.

In case you mean FDL 4.K and the last paragraphs of 5. and 9., these
clauses refer only to sections entitled ["Acknowledgments" or]
"Dedications", not to any section containing dedications, but
entitled differently. (BTW, the conditions for those are not that
much different from invariant sections, but that's irrelevant to the
point here.)

Which is exactly why you don't need the license to try to enforce
this (in a cumbersome way). It is already forbidden by law!
Diffamation laws don't depend on copyright licenses.

IANAL.
