Because not everyone logs in or is logged in that way.  And when you're 
in a datacenter dealing with hundreds of machines you don't have time to 
be fiddling around with alternate mechanisms.  You need to be able to 
count on the behaviors of controlling the X server that have been there 
for decades and as I said have become part of your DNA.
