It is disabled by intention. See (info "(emacs)Directory Variables")

| If you put a file with a special name `.dir-locals.el'(1) in a
| directory, Emacs will read it when it visits any file in that directory
| or any of its subdirectories, and apply the settings it specifies to
| the file's buffer.  Emacs searches for `.dir-locals.el' starting in the
| directory of the visited file, and moving up the directory tree.  (To
| avoid slowdown, this search is skipped for remote files.)

I wouldn't like to overrule this on my own. If you believe it is
important, you might ask on the emacs-devel mailing list for this. Maybe
one could enable this by a custom variable.
