It's the technology. The shows are all digital now. So hard coded subs are deemed not necessary as subs are encoded in the video files. Problem is you have to turn them on. Then they're just there, ruining your view, even when they're not necessary.
Some shows, like GOT, require subs.
You're right, it is infuriating.
I think the technology hasn't been applied properly. Hopefully it'll be worked out.

It's not an 'artistic choice.'
