Because it's quite evident from all of the available resources that Aikido wasn't meant to be a "passive-aggressive" martial discipline. For instance O'sensei always advocated for the initiation of techniques from Nage's side.

Do you feel that there was a time in Osensei's life when Aikido was martial and was used as self defense and Osensei decided to practice it for a different reason?

I don't understand this question?
