For most D/S and ADV bikes, manufacturers tend to error on the side of fitting tires that are primarily pavement oriented*, as that is the type of surface where most buyers/owners will do most of their riding. I'd estimate that less than 10% of AT buyers will change out the OEM pavement tires for something more suited to serious off-road work.
* KTM being an exception to this, particularly on their EXC350 & EXC500 models which come shod with off-road worthy DOT knobbies.
