I don't think it's intentional, just a feature that's not been implemented yet.
True that stealing email access is a common way to steal accounts but it's not the only one, there are also keyloggers and phishing.
SInce not using email alone won't protect you, it doesn't make sense to not using, considering that having a way to recover your password should be a must.
