Default Why don't cross-references update automatically?

Is there a reason cross-references aren't updated automatically? Currently,
a user has to hit ctrl+a, f9 to update all cross-references (and do it again
for the header/footer, since ctrl+a does not highlight them) in the document.
This makes cross-references unusable for large documents edited by many
people, some of whom don't know that the cross-references need to be manually
updated (or don't know how).

I can't imagine why this wouldn't be done automatically on save - perhaps
that can be added as a feature to Office 2010 SP1?
