because plus scripts can't already do that
oh wait, they can. you can register COM and .NET dlls to use in your scripts -- like xniff, etc. also, if you're going out of your way to install and code in a different language when you're developing the script, copying one DLL and adding a line to scriptinfo shouldn't be a problem.

Then when you come to installation, it's again, another thing to potentially go wrong. Especially for people who don't know much about computers (which is probably the majority of plus's users) and don't understand why a script wont work because they don't have a WSH plugin.
again, installation of a wsh plugin is just as complicated as registering a com object -- adding a few registry entries. and there are many more reasons scripts can fail to install than just this...
