That is because a lot of programs don't need to make registry entries
to run.

If you only wanted to re-install programs that had previously been in
your registry then you could export the list of software from your old
registry.
The problem with a computer upgrade though is that everything isn't
in the registry. That's why some of us want a list of "all installed
software". So that we can make sure that all our old programs are
moved to our new computer/OS.
