You certainly could put the listener there but that would cause a number of disadvantages. It would make for a less clear separation of duties because your renderer class would then contain logic as well. In the context of a large application you definitely would not want to be setting data and performing similar actions in a multitude of different places like that either as it would make maintenance and troubleshooting a nightmare. It would also make your renderer far less generic/reusable.
In a real application the listener wouldn't be at the Application root but in an appropriately high-level view, such as a screen/page/form.
