I'm going with it's because that's how they naturally grow AND it would cost a fortune to constantly trim them. And there is no need to trim them, since it is quite easy to pick up the fronds when they fall...

I remember a big thunderstorm a while back. My wife and I were driving somewhere after the storm and she commented about all of the dead fronds along the side of the road. I told her, not to worry, they'd be gone in a day or so...

The very next day we were on the same road. Not a single dead frond to be found...
