Because:
1) You need to remain Unicode compliant w.r.t bidi algorithm.
2) You need to edit everything, from normal text to marked up XML or
LaTeX, and expected behavior is different with different kinds of text.
3) Different users have different expectations, so you need lots of
configurability for different kind of users in different locales.
