It is a matter of taste.  Some folks like to see pages and pages of output even
if it builds nothing.  Some folks only want to see what is being compiled and
do not care about how it is being compiled.   I think it is usually developers
that like to see everything, and they are more likely to know how to change
a setting.   But users that just want to build the software, only want to build
it and don't really care what is going on.  It was felt that there are more
users than developers, so that is why the default is off.
