Because that's typically a very dangerous operation to just leave open. Generally speaking it would mean that people could send requests to your Apache saying to delete something from it (granted, it would be "just" things the user running Apache has access to). Most configurations I've ever worked with (at least production) have everything but HEAD/GET/POST disabled by default.
