Because it can be used as a kind of "weapon" by dorky drop in guests, who have moronic friends (there was a problem with that early in the life of this thread). That's why we don't have it here. It often ends up encouraging uninvited creepy guests. I understand your point of view- but really, the whole recommend thing is divisive even outside of the attack encouraging potential. It can make people feel hurt their posts don't get recommended, when they have made a good point, or a similar point to others. It can start to be a popularity contest. So I don't see the value added myself.
