Lots of web users use FTP to upload files. FTP has a chmod command; it
does not have commands to alter SELinux labels (and even if such
commands were added, you aren't liable to get WSFTP and such to change
just to support a few Linux servers).
Not all users have shell access either.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
