Simply because not only does it not have to be like that, for years we weren't forced to use this stuff if we didn't want to.

I like C#, no, I adore C#. I have a bad memory for even the simplest method calls and the sheer power the intellisense in a statically typed language gives me to just not care means I can just code with joy.

My personal view on it has always been that someone in MS wrote MVC 1 in response to Rails on the sly. It was fantastic, a breath of fresh air into the MS constant misunderstanding of the web. Especially compared to webforms. For a while, everything was good. Then somehow 7 or 8 years ago the ASP.Net team got obsessed with ramming "best practices" down our throat and everything's gone a bit downhill from there.

You still are not forced to use it. The documentation will heavily emphasize it, but you can still manually new things up to your heart's content if you want.
