Hmm, it doesn't seem reasonable for an authentication system to not be
throttled. Any ideas on why it's not on by default?

I attempted to provide an explanation here:

http://jasig.github.io/cas/planning/Security-Guide.html#login_throttling

Short answer: in terms of security, throttling is best applied to back-end authentication stores directly. Use the CAS feature as a second-best approach. Keeping it off by default seems consistent with that advice.
