Because BIOS manufacturers assume most people want it that way it's enabled by default. On most computers you can set it in the BIOS and the OS can override that setting later.

Because even the computer knows that numlock should just always be enabled

Well, it does that with it on too, just different keys.

Because, unless you have a very unusual keyboard, like an IBM Model K, you'll have directional keys as well as a keypad, so you don't need to use the secondary ten key functions. Keeping it is just a holdover from times past, like the pause/break and scroll lock keys: useless for the overwhelming majority of users.
