By construction really. stderr is initially for errors, but it is
generally used for "out of band" messages such as warnings and various
optional information. stdout is used to output whatever data the user
asked for (which generally isn't errors and warnings). If you redirect
said data to a file, you don't want out of band information to end up
mingled with it.
