Most (perhaps not enough) checks know when to consider themselves "not applicable" in appropriate circumstances so don't need to be deactivated. Many (perhaps not enough) checks give you the flexibility (by using the check parameter) to have the system check what your site views as best practice even if that does not match what IBM thinks is best practice (and you might have fully valid reasons for your best practice). Such checks can be thought of as validating that your best practice has not (inadvertently or otherwise) been changed (such as by someone meaning well, seeing that you're not running with the documented-by-IBM best practice, changing something). If there is a non-controversial "everyone agrees that this is the right thing to do" situation, we try to move that towards not giving an option, just making it that way. But "everyone agrees" is a difficult target to reach.
