Because not every print job needs/wants to print on both sides.
If duplex were the default, then for instance, invoices (which know
nothing about duplex, and so won't clear it) would print on both
sides, and it would be kinda hard to seperate the two invoices.

And, what if the user forgets to set Duplex before printing (or reset
it after)? If they forget before, they waste cards. If they forget
after...well....you won't be very well liked.

If you don't manipulate the duplex setting, you do so at your user's
peril.
