The manual says so, and it has been said in most, if not all SPL-related presentations.
So people have started using SPL, iterators, autoload, or the pre-defined exceptions. You might not use it personally, but I bet that sooner or later components and libraries you use will pick up on it, if they haven't already. AFAIK, PDO offers iterator-based access. Does PDO work without SPL? IMHO, you have to set a standard set of PHP features that everybody can rely on. By still allowing stuff to be disabled, you start adding more incertainty to the whole thing. If it can be disabled, somebody will disable it one day, get into trouble, file a bug report, and be told "you need to always enable SPL". Isn't that a waste of time, energy and resources?
