Is it just me, or is there a reason for it?

I don't think that an "ordinary user" looks at log files.

Furthermore, if for some silly reason, Ubuntu developers decided to
make logs less verbose, imagine the "fun" in getting someone to enable
verbose logging in order to give this list, for example, enough
information to help that person.
