Debian/Ubuntu backports potentially affect the whole system, so almost every user will only want to pick a package or two, not all of them. Also, the point of those "NotAutomatic" flag was that you can even add the apt source by default everywhere. Most PPAs, as well as apt.pg.org are "topic" repositories which IMHO you would usually enable because you want to use them.
