Because the dialogs are part of Windows 7, and they represent a distinct user interaction paradigm that exists throughout the operating system. Why shouldn't you judge an OS that you will be using regularly based on how it is designed to interact with you?

Its not like each and every dialog you get in Win7 is meaningless.

The point is that this isn't a bug or fluke or outlier, it's just an extreme example of the usual Windows model of interaction.
