well think of it this way, what if you are really popular like Patchou, then what you are going to have is a massive flood of PM's that will clog your inbox, not to mention the extra load it would put on the already huge sql db maintained on the server. Ofcourse there is always the option to have a radio button placed in the UserCp to enable/disable this, but we have to consider the load on the db on a silly little feature that is there so that one can reflect upon their behaviour on the forums.

i suggest checking your rep regularly, if you are that obsessed.
