That's because newer versions of portage have autoclean set as default.
See /etc/make/globals...

# Set to yes automatically run "emerge clean" after each merge

# downgrading libraries during a batch (world/system) update.
AUTOCLEAN="yes"

It's possible that some people set this in /etc/make.conf to NO and
running emerge clean is a good way to check. IMO, the best way o get to
know more about Gentoo is go exploring in /etc I've noticed many things
have been shifted around in /etc recently.
