When a bad attestation makes it into fork choice, it may be aggregated causing the whole attestation to become bad. Until we have a better mechanism to prevent bad attestations from corrupting good ones in fork choice, we will not aggregate them by default. The purpose of the aggregation is to reduce the number of distinct aggregations processed through fork choice. While this type of optimization is desired, better to be safe for the time being.
Maybe supersedes #4660
