Because they are used in different parts on the code.
We could do like android code that has a @ref for *every* text that you
need to look on a table and put in the correct part in the code, OR
use the text directly in the code, that's what we do. It's way easier to
program this way.

if we do this, then how you think we should use them on the code:
ui->messageBox(tr("The archive could not be opened");

in some *other* file:

ui->messageBox("The archive could not be opened");

The way that a few applications do, having a XML with all of the strings,
it's really a pain to work.
