It's because of security. If you trust a bluetooth device on Linux,
you're trusting it for all services. In case of the sixaxis it means
you're not only trusting it (the BT-MAC) as an input device, but also as
a network device.
Now if you trust any plugged in device which says it's a sixaxis, I
would tell my arduino to say it's an sixaxis with a MAC from one of my
BT-dongles to get a magic device which gives me wireless remote access
on every linux box with BT when I plug it in once.
That means you want user interaction, besides just plugging in a device.
