Typically it isn't necessary, since views are usually placed within the bounds 
of their parents and content is usually sized for the view.

But clipping isn't free (it is usually fairly cheap however). In particular if 
clipsToBounds=YES was the default, then all of your views would clip all of 
their subviews leading to O(n^2) clipping operations (where n is the depth of 
your view hierarchy).
