Because that's best Postfix can do. Because Postfix SHOULD do that:

*) Because if on MX is down, the second one could/should be up and
running, so why shouldn't Postfix use it
*) Because Postfix isn't interested in wasting resources and storing
deliverable e-mails in the deferred queue
*) Because the sender wants to have delivered his e-mail fast without
unnecessary delays
*) Because the recupient wants to receive his e-mails quickly without
unnecessary delays

If you believe that deferring e-mails and wasting time is helpful, then use

smtp_mx_address_limit = 1
smtp_mx_session_limit = 1

but don't complain about delays.
