Because base flipping generates the large EXP flashes across the screen that gives players the instant gratification they are looking for. Defenese requires people to attack for a longer period of time without simply moving to another base to take and you don't get any exp when the screen flashes that you still own the objective.. discouraging zerglings from staying... I routinely hear people complain that defense ticks don't give exp so they aren't worth the time.
Back when you saw defense ticks in beta.. like you see capture ticks.. then people started defending more. Then the problem was also created with people AFKing in defended bases just milking exp.... bottom line people suck and Developers will have their hands full trying to please the masses without creating a easy track for AFKers to get rewards.
