If you were forced to transform every night, then lycanthropy would get get in the way of quests that require you to wait until night, people can only be found in certain areas at night you would not be able to interact with and everyone would attack you on sight. Imagine doing one of the civil war quests but during the fight, night descends and you become a werewolf and then suddenly both sides are all trying to kill you. It wouldnt work.
