  Is there a good reason for this?

  Usually it's a good idea to leave the choice to the user. Opening a link
in a new window is always a hidden side-effect, which at least I hate a lot.
If I want to open a link in a new window, I know how to do it by myself.

  There are a few exceptions where opening a link in a new window is ok,
but they are rare, and even in those cases it should be clear that "if
you click here, it will open a new window, so be warned".
  (Btw, you should not try to open the new window with javascript, as many
people have that disabled and will simply skip your site if links are not
working.)
