Ospf DB o bit set

Just wondering why ospf DB packet have o bit set as 1 in option field, in non MPLS-TE network.

As per RFC 5250

 A neighbor is opaque-capable if and only
   if it sets the O-bit in the Options field of its Database Description
   packets; the O-bit SHOULD NOT be set and MUST be ignored when
   received in packets other than Database Description packets.  Using
   the O-bit in OSPF packets other than Database Description packets
   will result in interoperability issues.  The setting of the O-bit is
   a "SHOULD NOT" rather than a "MUST NOT" to remain compatible with
   earlier specifications.

 Why it is not set in other packet options( Hello , update , Ack etc)
