At least because the kernel does not support hotplugging for the i2c
bus, maybe because the hardware does not support it (and it would not be
used anyway in most situations).
If what you want is actually hardware autodetection and not hotplugging
then somebody needs to take the sensors-detect program and make from it
something which can be run quickly and non-interactively at boot time.
Hotplug currently can only load the drivers for PCI I2C controllers.
