They do this as to not worry the average driver. If you didn't know and you
saw your temp guage bobbing all over the place, wouldn't you be worried that
it was bad? The one in my dad's BMW doesn't move - ever. It's always
pointing right in the middle, yet when we hooked up an aftermarket temp
guage it shows considerable fluctuation.
