Because it isn't any business of Emacs to second-guess the user's
intentions. The user could, for example, be saving a partially
written file, or have any other valid reason for keeping the trailing
whitespace.
If you do want this automatic cleanup to be performed unconditionally,
customize the option whitespace-cleanup to do that.
