Not everyone is using X.
I do tend to agree that it would often be better to implement input
methods at the OS level, but have you (for example) seen .keymap files
on MacOS? They're not even officially documented any more (the page in
the old documentation is marked so it won't be web indexed!) Apple
prefers that people not use them, and there are significant limitations
to the functionality. Sometimes doing this sort of thing in Emacs has
advantages.
