Because they have different needs ? Maybe they do want to see how many processes are running, who's connected, and some simple status on the machine, contrary to OP ?
Their fault is not so much in complexifying motd, it's in removing the simple options for the majority of people who don't need the added configurability.

But this implementation, where all are suddenly thrust into the complex solution for something that the collective memory determines to be simple, is a net negative. I have the same complaint about what has happened to Xorg.conf, or grub2. Yay, they are more flexible and dynamic. But they also run contrary to Unix philosophy of simplicity
