Why would you ever do this?

Because with uuids disambiguation would be based upon them and not
upon titles.

Why? Adding a uuid _can_be_ for disambiguation within a tiddlywiki,
but it doesn't _have_to_be. In the use case we are considering
(federation, inter-wiki communication, etc) there's no requirement
that tiddlywiki's behavior change internal to itself. The uuid is for
asking "is this tiddler the same as that tiddler". Where/when that
question is asked is within our control, and need only happen at the
wiki bounary.

So therefore, as Mario rightfully so points out... if uuids were just
another field, then there would be no core support to make use of them
in any of the standard makros or functions.

Yes, that would be intentional, to make the surface are of the change
contained and least impactful.
