Because some genius at Cisco thought that gratuitous ARPs are a useful
thing, and Cisco never turns off a feature that might break someone's
broken deployment that relies on a particular misfeature to not explode.

"no ip gratuitous-arps"

in global config mode.  (Of *course* this is a global command, so you
can't even have it on one interface and turn it off on a different one)
