Because it was decided long ago that "cvs add" would be how all files
would be tagged for adding to the repository, including those that would
otherwise be ignored by default.

What part of "Do What I Say!" don't you understand? CVS just does
exactly, and only, what you're telling it to do when you give it a file
or a list of files on the command line. Why should users have to jump
through extra hoops just to cause CVS to do what they're trying to tell
it to do in the first place?
If you don't want to add a file then do not include its name on the "cvs
add" command line!!!!!
This basic UI decision is part of history now. Like it or lump it.
