There are some cases.  One is that you only want to add some of the
files, but you haven't set up the right ignore options.  (I'd want to
encourage people to just get the ignore patterns right and avoid trouble
later, but some people might not.)  Another is that you want to add the
files across a series of commits for some reason.  Of course in either
case you can just add the lot and then remove the ones you don't want.  

I've just added --no-recurse but the default is to recurse down.  I love
'bzr add .'
