It wouldn't be every single quest. As you pick up new quests, it could default to having them initially checked so they show up automatically (provided there's room to do so). Just let us go back and un-check them if we're not going to get to them for a while.

Not all quests are completed in the same region where they're picked up. You have to pick them up while you're in the region the quest giver is in, but the next objective may be clear across Eorzea in a region that you're not going to get to for a while. When choosing which of my quests I'm going to work on now while I'm here, I'll take a look at which of them have their next objective in my current region or at least a nearby one. Once all those are done, I'll travel to another area and do all the quests I have in that region.

Another possible reason for having a non-current quest in your quest Journal is if it's an important one you don't want to lose track of. When I'm going to take a break from the main storyline to do a few other quests for a while or level up additional classes or whatever, I'll still pick up the next main storyline quest so it's there in my Journal. That's the easiest way to ensure that when I'm ready to return to the main storyline, I won't have lost track of where I left off on it.
