I think that when you occupy an enemies fort, provinces within the forts zone of control should automatically be occupied as well. This works on the defensive side, so why not the offensive side?

Offensive side is on foreign land, defensive side has an established administration system there that flips back naturally without occupation force keeping it down.
On one hand it can bore down the player, on the other hand its one of the few forms of defender advantage in the game. Personally, I dont mind the feature.

Because it's not really useful.
If defending country has forts, you usually don't need to occupy every province, as occupying forts give you an overwhelming majority of warscore. Primary reason for still doing it (in usual "carpet sieging" manner) is to ensure that enemy cannot hire armies on unoccupied lands. However, if provinces are gradually occupied by conquered fort, it may give enemy enough time to finish construction of regiments in those provinces, so you actually want your soldiers to step on every province.
