That happens because data flow information is used to find uninitialized
variables. Some folks argue that this by itself is a bug, and that it should
be entirely up to the front end to diagnose uninitialized variables. But then
a lot of warnings could not be issued because the front ends don't have the
means to compute which variables are initialized on one path through the
program but not on another.
In short, this is the result of a design decision.
