Short answer: Because some people suck, and without some sort of enforceable agreement in place they will do for themselves at any cost, with no regard for any consequences. It's taken me that long to reply to this because what you ask is not a simple question, and that's the shortest answer I can give. But then the enforceable agreement begs the question of who and how is it enforced, who makes the rules, and no matter what at some point a "system" of some sort will be in place, either by design, or through happenstance. Human nature being what it is, is not to be trusted, especially from the standpoint of a group.
