Isn't this like asking "why do this in a uniform way, when each application could do it in its own way?"

(Also, (1) even if "should cover most of the use cases" is correct, why not cover all of the use cases?; and (2) the mere presence of more powerful tools can encourage ingenuity to use them in ways that wouldn't have been imagined if we only had purpose-built, specialised tools.)
