Ok, so I'm fairly certain almost every ward I've been in has done a big push for indexing. It doesn't take a lot of time, it's just really difficult to read old handwriting. Especially when that handwriting is in cursive and the recorder obviously didn't care if it was legible. He was probably trying to hurry and get done so he could go home.
Example: can you read what county this is? Or the district name? Me neither...
Indexing can be fun sometimes though, so if you're interested you should sign up and try it out! Just go to https://familysearch.org/indexing/ for more information.
