Possible explanations:

Not needed for the last several decades.
Would you stop trying to 'improve' the place, I like it as it is.
Would the person who placed the bolts like to make their case (maybe before drilling next time).
Its gettin' a bit bolty at Araps.
Too many rap points, just walk off - it won't kill you.
One mistake abseiling and you're strawberry jam.
I like using my lovely cams & wires at Australia's world famous trad crag.
The thin end of the wedge is getting thicker.

A few insights into the mindset of your typical bolt chopper - plenty of reasons there, take your pick.
