[Dx-qsl] Doesn't DXCC frown on this?

Another reason would be a luckily busted call.
Ferinstance...(and this really happened)...I had a buddy congratulate me 
several years back for working A5 on 40m (he knows I'm a peashooter so it 
would be a Big Deal). But of course I hadn't. I checked the online log 
and sure enough! there was my call.
(I have two very active operators one morse element away...NK7U and 
NX7K. It was probably one of them)
But the point is: if the online log included date&time both, I could have 
QSLed it easily.
I agree that having online logs with date & band (or maybe even band & 
mode) is very useful to reduce unnecessary dupes. But to perform that 
function you don't need all the QSO info.
