Because it's a stupid feature, that's why.

All people should be able to assign a thumbs-up (or thumnbs down) to any message. That's really the only way value concensus can be achieved.

See http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990905.html, an article that's two and a half years old but never truer. The UT just doesn't get it; it never did.
