I don't know that that's true. I think it's just that such sequences 
are relatively rare; usually, you can either find a non-integer value 
or prove that all terms are integers fairly easily.

One reason it's a little unusual is because in general sequences that
aren't known to be integral are disfavoured.  (Yes, there are a fair
number of exceptions, and we can always rescue them by the usual "or
some-number-if-not-integral" or "integral terms generated by.."
tricks, but still.)
