Because, while it is a simple task, it's also highly annoying - an early
version of Outlook had the option and people forgot they enabled it, then
wondered why their contacts folder was filled with all these names and
addresses.

Because many people use Outlook 2003/2007 nickname cache as an address book,
Outlook 2010 has the ability to save the people you reply to, to the
Suggested Contacts folder. You'll need to move the contacts you want to keep
to your default contacts folders. This keeps them from cluttering up your
contacts and protects users from a loss of addresses due to a corrupt
nickname cache.

In Outlook Xpress you can configure it to add contacts I reply to to my
address book. Is there a similar setting in Outlook 2003 or 2007?

No. There are third-party addins that will do this....
