Because linux does not implement the concept of "default interface".  If
you only have link-local addresses (the ones that start with fe80:) then
you always have to specify a scope id.  If you configure addresses with
larger scope, you will _not_ need to always use scope id.

This is an old bug and has been fixed.  You need to update your kernel.
The problem is with source address selection picking loopback interface,
and then the scope id ends up mismatched.
