Because people think it's a fine default.

Just like I think "User-Agent: curl/7.58.0" is a fine default.

Given the amount of fingerprinting and screwing with the content based on platform, I'd be happy to do away with user-agent completely. I'm tired of websites that are completely broken on mobile and force you to use the app (or constantly remind you about their app) and everybody returning a globally unique identification which is so hard to scrub.
