For the same reason pitchers don't have their batting stats counted in fantasy baseball: that's not what they are there for.
While I agree that it wouldn't hurt to make it optional, there are plenty of occasions where it makes sense to have consolation playoffs. For example, leagues might use the consolation bracket to encourage active participation from all managers the entire year, even if some managers are out of the playoff hunt. There might be a cash prize for the winner of the consolation bracket. I know of plenty of fantasy football leagues that use the consolation bracket to determine next years draft order. So 4th place has first round pick, 5th place has 2nd, etc.
But like I said, there might not be any harm in having the option to skip the consolation bracket. I don't see why players simply couldn't ignore it though. I'm in 9th place in one of my hockey leagues and haven't really paid attention to it, because why would I? It's not like I'm obligateded to stay checked in after the season ends.
