Felidar Sovereign and Test of Endurance both trigger on upkeep, meaning each of your opponents gets one turn to burn, pillage, and plunder your life total and/or win condition card of choice. This card, on the other hand, can just show up randomly at any time and end the game.
EDH (errr, Commander that is!) is supposed to be a casual, fun multiplayer format. Felidar and Endurance create drama on the board. Can your opponents take care of you before your next upkeep? This card isn't dramatic. If it resolves and you meet the requirements, game over.

Aaaaah, man. I remember when I threw in Glittering Wish in my Scarecrow deck just before a duel. When I got Wish, I already had out all the necessary lands and Scrapbasket
Played Wish, nabbed Coalition Victory, paid one for Scrapbasket.
Won at life.

@ Kal_Sunchaser
According to the rules "You" does not specify a target, thus this particular spell does not have a target. In other words, no, you can't "steal" the win ;) .

I remember playing Sliver Control back in Time Spiral, using Dormant Sliver and Opposition Sliver (I forget it's name, something like Mindwhip, Mindlash, or Telekinetic, all slivers have T: Tap target Permanent) to lock down your opponent. The kill card: Coalition Victory. There was never a game when we DIDN'T have all basic land types and all colors out at once if we were winning.

Well, you'd feel pretty badly if your opponent happened to be holding Gather Specimens and you played a ridiculous angel like that...
