Because, if recommends were used properly, they wouldn't be unnecessary.
Also, nobody is forcing you to install anything. Recommends can be
removed/not installed. Automatically installing them goes with the spirit
of what it means: software you would normally install alongside the one you
are installing. If you are not installing it is because you know what you
are doing.
