I suspect it's because the modern console games the controller was originally designed for don't make use of the D-pad the same way classic games do. In most modern games, the analog sticks are your main control input, and the D-pad is just for secondary tasks that don't require a lot of precision, like looking around (e.g. in a racing game) or flipping through inventory or whatever. In the Windows driver, it even gets identified as a hat switch.
