There are several reasons I think. One reason is that installing new
programs should not change system overall behaviour.
A more important reason is that programs on w32 communicate differently
than on GNU/Linux. The w32 way, COM (or what the current name for it is,
it changes now and then), is rather similar to Corba on a conceptual
level. Programs can call other programs through COM and get a result
back. The Registry keeps track of the available COM components.
COM is designed as interfaces with version control so it gives a rather
flexibel environment.
Whatever we think of that this is the w32 way and to integrate in the
w32 environment as first class citizens this must be accepted.
