Because not everyone needs it? For the same reason not every package in the world is installed by default.
As far as I can tell, the default behaviour of Bluetooth on Ubuntu is to display a little Bluetooth icon in the notification area, which serves no other purpose than to notify me that I have Bluetooth hardware and to let me change a couple of useless settings.. By default it appears possible only to receive file transfers from another device, but not to send stuff. Why leave it out? If you've bothered to buy a bluetooth dongle then this is exactly the sort of functionality you do need!
