Cause it works like that by design. But to feed your curiosity ...
The code says this:
/*
* See if we have a fresh tape or a tape with data.
*
* Note, if the LabelType is PRE_LABEL, it was labeled
* but never written. If so, rewrite the label but set as
* VOL_LABEL. We rewind and return the label (reconstructed)
* in the block so that in the case of a new tape, data can
* be appended just after the block label. If we are writing
* a second volume, the calling routine will write the label
* before writing the overflow block.
*
* If the tape is marked as Recycle, we rewrite the label.
*/
So a volume is labeled regardless if its a clean new one e.g.
having PRE_LABEL or when its recycled after its retention expired.
