Why is the Who field of the Confluence calendar Add Event form optional?

Question

We use a team calendar to track folks' vacations.  Since the Who field of the Add Event form is optional, we often get entries that don't say who is on vacation.  Is there any reason why the event shouldn't always be associated with who entered it?  Is there some way to make this the default behavior?

We have a corporate instance running Confluence 6.6.1.

Thanks.
