That's all the base does. In a plugin implementation you'll do a lot more.
For example, see

http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ui/jquery.ui.dialog.js

So my response was assuming you were asking why inside a plugin
implementation you sometimes see the option being set directly and sometimes
see it being set through _setData. And the difference is whether you want
all these side-effects that are added to the plugin's own _setData.
