Because init files are typically not bytecompiled, and because that would not catch interactive uses with e.g. M-:.Both would be most unwelcome here. I often use `setq' in short "init" files for debugging purposes and sometimes use `setq' via M-: during debugging. In neither of these cases I wanted to be disturbed by any warnings. I would, however, welcome being warned when a user option is overridden by a package I load, either by a local binding or `setq'. At compile time.
The point is not to display unnecessary warnings. The point is only to display warnings for custom variables that should not be set with setq because they have a :set form, or IOW, to display warnings for custom variables that should be set with customize-set-variables.
