Windows 10: Why not Restore Points?

I've seen many web pages describing how to turn on Win10 support of Restore Points, but I cannot find anything describing why MS has the support turned off by default. I know some people have had problems with Restore Points in the past (including me) but I also know that they've saved my cookies a few times. Does MS feel they are unneeded? Dangerous? Unreliable? When the alternative option is a full system recovery it seems that going back to an earlier Restore Point is a reasonable first attempt at recovery.
