I'm just hazarding a guess here, but Microsoft is going to huge financial expenses to pack a Kinect in every Xone and they can't have people detaching the Kinect and putting it in a cupboard somewhere. They have to get gamers to like this and so it makes sense if it's always beside the console to encourage people to use it. Every Kinect that is not used is a really expensive brick that MS had to foot part of the bill for.
