I honestly don't know enough about the technical aspects to answer the question. I doubt any of us here do. But a thought that occurs to me is that the amount of correction needed may vary with lens. It seems logical that the IS requirements of a 600mm lens are different than for a 135mm lens. If so, then putting it in the lens allows better optimization. So far, the only camera with IS in the body is, I think, a fixed lens design.
