Because “people” (my french self included) would just say (most of the time) “la machine à laver” (or even shorter : la machine) and out of context, you’d figure out which of the 2 is actually talked about.

I never heard anybody say la machine à laver la vaisselle, it sounds way too verbose, everyone says le lave vaisselle
