Re-running the bot costs performance but not a kind of performance that matters. It doesn't increase page loading time and most of the bot activity is reading not writing so it also doesn't go produce problems with creating too many edits. "Let wikidata autodetect" is very imprecise. When do you think Wikidata should do that autodetection? Do you believe that if someone opens a Wikidata item with 100 sitelinks, Wikidata should query all 100 Wikipedia projects every time? Besides the technical, there's also the question of what we mean by "valid redirects". I believe that a valid redirect is one that's in line with Wikidata policy on which redirects we want to list on Wikidata. Spelling mistakes are for example not valid redirects according to our Wikidata policy. A redirect for a spelling mistake is on the other hand, perfectly in line with Wikipedia policy, so having to explain to the Wikipedians (in every project) that they should not put VALIDREDIRECT on their redirect pages with spelling mistakes has the potential for a lot of conflicts.
