Because "require" is a PHP command, not an HTML command.

The href attribute is called from the client browser, which has no idea
where your server's D: drive is.

Because the browser can make a legal request for it when it is in the
same folder as the HTML document.

> But I'd like to have my .css files also at a shared place.

Yes, as long as the href attribute tells the browser where to find it.
e.g.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://www.example.com/stylesheets/default.css" />

> Is there also something like a 'require' command for a .css file?

No, but you could use some browser-side javascript to confirm that the
..css document was loaded.
