Probably because $ is only one of the possibilities, others being \[..\] or eqnarray-like environments.

Yes I agree. What I suggested was a sort of "hum ... silly, I forget the math delimiters" automatic correction, which action is to default to the $ delimiters when no delimiters are found. This way the user ... me ;-) avoids one error (actually I recently forget 3 or 4 times the math delimiters when writting some short titles, maybe because they are boxed in red).
