Because it annoys the holdout users into changing their passwords.

Back in my day (
old man grumble
) the system would force you to change your password on next login. Simple, effective.
This approach is just a dumb prank.

I dislike being forced to change password without notice, I need some time to come up with a secure, typeable one. Change on next login just results in me reusing an old password or adding a "2" to the current one.
