And that is to make it technically consistent with the command line utilities capabilities. For example, I ran into (on several different occasions) problems where i would label a disk, allocate paritions, change parition types, etc., and it didn't really get done. Doing it manually would generally resolve the problem. However, it's a Good Thing(tm) to have a gui of one form or another to cater to less-experienced users. That's just very sensible.
