The main reason is simplicity. Furthermore, if it would be an attribute, we would loose efficiency, as we would need an instance first, and we would have less options to cache the markup. And now with the latest refactorings, we are getting to a point where you can access the markup even in your constructor, which wouldn't be possible in case it would be an attribute. The loading strategy is flexible however, so I think it should be possible to implement e.g. a loader that uses a static method on your pages to designate where the template should come from...
