I think the reason for it is probably because Sage variables are so often words rather than letters When using LaTeX directly on formulas involving typical programming variable names one has to override the "carefully tuned spacing" in just this way.
A patch to leave out the space when both sides of a product are numeric literals, single-letter variables or have non-default (user defined) latex forms would be a nice little project for somebody.
