Because then you have to pass something that subclasses dict instead
of something that implements the interface of dict. We could go on and

Here's something that has been quietly bugging me about Django for /

to instantiate a Context just to pass it to render() is unnecessary
boilerplate (and means you have to import another symbol as well).
