There are many things that could be overlooked by new sysops.  It's just one of those things that's good to learn when setting up and running a BBS.  I think a reason for it not being on by default is that a BBS initially doesn't have networked messagebases set up by default, and since you basically have to set those up manually (opting in), enabling message validation probably doesn't need to be enabled until the sysop adds networked message areas and wants message validation.
