Because a lot of people want to be explicit about what is happening. Because while "2" is the stated default, not all reading systems use this, so be setting it, you get the same behaviour everywhere. Because whatever tool is being used to create the ebook writes everything into the stylesheet even if it is a default. Because some people don't agree with you.
