@Smalyshev No reason to be sorry for asking the right questions!
If we truly wanted* to boil the reason down to one sentence: The reason this is a dedicated service is the language it is written in (typescript), which was chosen because it allows us to create an implementation which can be compiled/transpiled to work on both server and client - something not possible with PHP.
Please see T213318 for (hopefully) more pointers in that regard (ctrl+f "avoid redundant implementations").
(* with the know consequences in complex discussions)
