Why is it optional?

Because http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#idl-operations says (if you scroll down a ways):

  If the type of an argument is a dictionary type or a union type that
  has a dictionary type as one of its flattened member types, and this
  argument is either the final argument or is followed by an optional
  argument, then the argument MUST be specified as optional.  Such
  arguments are always considered to have a default value of an empty
  dictionary, unless otherwise specified.

It's not optional for 'addHitRegion' in the spec either...

Well, then whenever someone tries to actually parse that IDL with a WebIDL parser/validator they'll come filing bugs. ;)
