The reason is that it is NOT realistic. In the early years (39 - 41) Type IIs carried a crew of 25 and Type VIIs carried a crew of 44 (4 officers, 10 petty officers and 30 ratings). As the anit-aircraft guns increased, so did the crew members to handle them.
If you use SH3 Commander, click on the realistic crew option when you start a career. This will give you a pretty good example of the realistic crew in numbers, ranks and specialties.
