Mainly because file formats can and frequently do change. If it's an API then tests can be written against it and the API abstracts the changes. If it were me that's what I'd prefer to do. Plus it saves re-creating all the object model.

However What you're suggesting works fine and I certainly wouldn't want to stop you doing that. It's just that having the ability to take a (e.g.) python AI and make that part of the distribution for everyone running a server has an appeal. (and yes obviously that can be done without a plugin system as well - it just makes more sense to me that as it's open source anyway makeing it all one codebase seems more logical to me)
