Because it makes commercial sense? The amount of money QF is going to save from a certain percentage of the cost being back charged to them is negligible. It will cost QF a lot more money that other airlines are through checking to them on separate tickets.
But offering this service makes frequent flyers like gaia come back. I haven't done it with QF yet but I have deliberately avoided BA on two ticket itineraries because of the baggage problem.

The OP is now aware of the situation and now has the options to ensure that he has through tickets or be aware of the situation and allow for it on future travels or just fly the most direct routing and avoid the domestic connections

I agree a QF to QF flight should transfer bags from domestic to international. QF has a bad policy that should be changed. SYD with it s two terminals may as well be two airports, perhaps not QF's fault, however they are prime tenant at SYD. They HAVE a problem, why pass it off on the PAYING public.
