Because server-side autocommit was a bad idea.  See the 7.4 Release Notes.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release-7-4.html

"The server-side autocommit setting was removed and reimplemented
in client applications and languages.  Server-side autocommit was
causing too many problems with languages and applications that
wanted to control their own autocommit behavior, so autocommit was
removed from the server and added to individual client APIs as
appropriate."
