Well the counterargument to this is in the D&D roots, you never knew if something was cursed or not, it was always a little surprise when it turned out that super-powerful magic item was actually cursed and tried to take you over and eat your soul. Think of the One Ring in LoTR at the very least.

But if you don't want to think of it like that, you can pick up the Magical Item Reference and see almost everything that every item does before you make it.
