Probably because you don't want the GUI to change due to the
autoconnect. Imagine you're about to click somewhere and then the GUI
below changes and your click doesn't have the expected effect.

Actually I'm annoyed by the fact that wicd-curses doesn't have such a
feature. It happened to me several times that I was editing some
connection properties and suddenly the rescan happened, it showed the
new networks list and all my unsafed changes were gone.

I'd surely vote for optional.
