I don't pretend to understand the regulatory aspects. For the sake of
dullards like me, is there a reason it couldn't just be sent by paypal?

Yeah, it would be nice for those of us in the UK too. My cheque has finally
arrived, but now I need to go find a bank branch, etc, etc. I can't believe
that cheque is the cheapest or easiest option for anyone concerned, even
those of us in the UK...
Unfortunately, due to the current UK money-laundering regulations,
it's very hard to send a wire to someone outside the UK. UK banks are
fairly free and easy about setting up chequebook-only accounts for
charities and societies; but even if you have a proper corporate
account with full electronic banking services, sending a payment
overseas (where a lot of speakers will be) requires someone to
physically queue up at the bank's special services desk when it's open
and sign a bunch of forms (and sender or receiver gets a £12 charge).
