There is no good reason but history. A long time ago the programs for X Window were not properly localized so in order to make them use non-Latin fonts one had to do some durty tricks, one of them being rearranging the directories in the FontPath. Thats why xfonts-cyrillic installed its fonts in a separate directory. There were no directories for Thai, Lao, etc. because there were Russian developers working for XFree86, but no Thai, Lao, etc. developers.
