Prefetching is one argument that was used in the mozilla development as well, saying that it would speed up web browsing. There were a couple of semi academical arguments which basically said, that by needlessly prefetching about (let's just assume) 90% of the content, people will be clogging all bandwidth away, thus decreasing the overall surfing speed. I guess the same argument applies against prefetching in this case.
