Because it won't be on the live media that many of the install from,
or the default groups that would be choosen from the dvd install. 

Which is more likely: 

1. I am going to enable all the repos I can, oh look, something called
rawhide is already here. I'll just enable it. 

2. I am going to enable all the repos I can, ok. Now I am going to
randomly look through the almost 19,000 packages for some that might
have repo files to enable.

I don't want to lock rawhide in a cabinet in the basement with a
'beware of leopard' sign on it. I just don't want it to be in the same
packet of stuff that everyone who comes into the store gets by
default. ;)
