I think it's because they realize only Japanese can appreciate the magnificence of an automated system that needs a full-time immigration officer standing behind it and watching it. (c.f. parking lot attendants who insert your parking ticket into the automated machine for you, JR employees who push buttons for you on the self-serve ticket vending machines, and real human road construction workers standing next to the fake robot hand-waving construction workers to make sure the hand-waving motor does not break down)
