Because
Helps to clarify that a form not submitting the params for a deselected checkbox/select form field is a feature of the HTML spec, not an unintended side-effect. It's a known gotcha, but reads like a bit of an unintended side effect.
The rails API guides includes a helpful section with details of this gotcha and why a hidden field is required, including examples of the HTML output.
