They may be doing so because they think simple upvoting is a better way to to second recommendations. However, this isn't really the case because many recommendations mention multiple books, so doing so would not clearly endorse a specific book.
Plus, upvoting doesn't distinguish between "I agree that some or all of these books are good recommendations," and "Thanks for suggesting some plausible sounding candidates."
