Because the feature might be available, but inoperable (e.g., if some underlying library is missing). This happens all the times in the Windows build, where optional shared libraries are loaded dynamically only when needed, even though Emacs itself was compiled with support for that library. We will see more of that once we support some kind of dynamic modules.
