Mostly because people misunderstand what defensive driving means.
It doesn't mean "go slow". It means always maintain a safety margin between your vehicle and others, adjusted for speed, road conditions, and relative direction of travel.
Those are the kinds of objectives a self driving system can very reliably achieve, unlike a human.
