Because aggressive regenerative braking simply means too much regenerative braking when the driver actually wants to coast after lift off.

Some automakers program in more aggressive regenerative braking, to the point that in some (Nissans, if I remember correctly) you hardly need the brake pedal at all -- the less pressure you place on the accelerator pedal, the more regenerative braking.

I don't think that I would like aggressive regenerative braking; I like being able to coast with just a little bit of regenerative braking because that is closest to how a normal car works.
