Because if you chose it to be installed (and you did
choose it, maybe not voluntarily), the assumption is
that you want to use it. It's easy enough to stop and a
good sysadmin will examine his system for all services
he does not want or need and disable them. It's just a
fact of life and good Linux administration.
