Unless there is some technical reason why we can't do this, it would make everyone's lives a lot easier when trying to access archived matches... because it would be done automatically by Twitch, and saved immediately.

Rather complicated answer here. All streams since week 3 have been automatically archived on Twitch and can be found here:
http://www.twitch.tv/nefirst_red/pro...ast_broadcasts
http://www.twitch.tv/nefirst_blue/pr...ast_broadcasts
However, Twitch provides no guarantee that the archives will be available forever and reserves the right to delete the archives as needed. As you can see, the blue channel already has no archives left.
Additionally, Twitch automatically detects copyright audio in all recorded video and will mute the audio for the video when copyright audio is detected. Since FIRST plays copyright audio ALL DAY, this is a big hurdle.
Thirdly, the Twitch playback feature is pretty terrible. Twitch is made for live video, and there's reason most Twitch streamers also have an accompanying YouTube channel.
