The reason is that it only adds its manchinery if `minibuffer-completion-table' is non-nil which seemed to be the right thing to check that we read something completable from the minibuffer. With ido enabled, it is always nil, at least for `find-file' and `switch-to-buffer'. That said, I'm not sure if it would be a useful extension to enable together with ido. With ido, you already see (some) possible completions, and ido also doesn't complete with stock `minibuffer-complete' as `aggressive-completion-mode' does but it has its own `ido-complete' which also tracks state important for ido such as the current directory...
