Why should it be?
OCTET STRINGs are not necessarily printable.
That's what DISPLAY HINTs are for - if a particular
object is meant to hold printable values, then it should
be defined as such (i.e. "DisplayString" or similar).
If the MIB designer was vague (and/or lazy) and just used
a bare OCTET STRING definition, then we have to try and
guess whether this is probably a printable string, or a
binary one (such as an IP or ethernet address).
