Recommended: passive + to-infinitive

Fowler’s Dictionary supports examples like the following in the passive, but not their active counterparts

The committee is being recommended to approve the proposals

However, it says about double passives as follows

Such constructions (no greater thrill can be hoped to be enjoyed) are awkward because they have no active
counterpart, *We hope no greater thrill to be enjoyed.

What’s the reason for this discrepancy?
