It's probably done that way as a protective measure. Why not just enable
bpdu guard on the interface too?

BPDU Filtering and PortFast Relationship
Hi Group,
This is something that confused me.
If "BPDU filtering" + "Port Fast" is enabled globally, why does a
switchport
loses it's Port Fast status as well as BPDU filtering when a BPDU
packet is received from that particular port?
If I want BPDU filtering protection and Port Fast status of a switch
port, why upon
receiving a BPDU from a PortFast port turned off both features?
So how can I ensure I still have PortFast enable and BPDU filtering
just block the BPDU packets from the PortFast port and yet has both
features enable without losing their status?

You should globally enable BPDU filtering on a switch so that hosts
connected to switch interfaces do not receive BPDUs. If a BPDU is
received on a Port Fast-enabled interface, the interface loses its
Port Fast-operational status and BPDU filtering is disabled.
