Using public key recovery by default?

For now, we have public key hashes as outputs and then it is needed to reveal public key and signature in inputs. But the properties of ECDSA allows us to skip this public key and by having some address and some signature, it is possible to verify it (in exactly the same way as we can type some address and signature and verify any message, not necessary being a transaction). Then, why storing public keys in the blockchain is needed if they can be safely skipped and calculated from signature and address?
