A lot of code relies on FP operations being deterministic, often within confines of specific ISA. Applying SIMD to loops with FP could have been a default but it breaks a lot of existing code, makes the output frequently straight-up non-deterministic and as a result is something that a programmer has to explicitly choose to use.

Moreover, many programmers may not be even aware of these, so when a `float Sum(float[] values)` starts to return something different, they may not have any way to know that it is the vectorization that makes it do so. Which is why, for example, .NET's standard library will use SIMD for `integers.Sum()` but not for `floats.Sum()`.
