This is a newer development. Used to be that parked domains were part of the 'search network' and I'm pretty sure Google publicly defended that as making sense. They later changed this - but before, there was no opt out of parked domains.

Wow I'm glad I wasn't an Adword customer at the time. Parked domains as part of the search network? That's like being forced to eat street hot dogs for lunch while shopping for a luxury car.
