I think most of these packages are created by uploading the PKGBUILD using burp or a similar AUR uploader. If the categories were to stay [1], it would be good if these uploaders or AUR rejected packages without a category.
This would become a royal pain in the ass for updating packages, since
You just do it once - what's so difficult about it?

You could do it in a few lines of code when uploading.
