Because the Android way is to not force one app to handle any action, but to 
give the user a choice for registered receivers.  That's the whole point 
with Intents.  You don't open a browser exe and feed it URL data, you 
publish an Intent and registered receivers respond.  If more than one 
exists, you get a choice as a user.  How do you think the Market opens your 
Market URL's in the first place.  The reason you can link to market:// from 
your app and have it open there is because of this mechanism.  That's the 
Android way.  That's how every single document on Android recommends doing 
it.
