But it would seem easier/simpler if the compiler just hooks

hit either.
Currently, AFAIK, (d)dmd does not use anything from Phobos. I'm
not sure if this is a temporary situation, or there's a strong
reason for it.
Probably since it was so recently changed from C++ to D that it
just hasn't tried to include anything. And leaving the two
projects (library and compiler) separate does allow a certain
level of purity.
