Because as a gentoo user you may have some very good reason NOT to do it (i.e.
you want to only emerge certain drivers and not others, unmask and emerge
particular versions, etc.)
Now portage could offer the choice of doing it (I have found these drivers,
would sir/madam like me to remerge them?) but it could confuse newbies or halt
emerges when run on a cron job.
