Maybe because OpenType is a lot more than just an embedding solution. If
I understand it correctly, it will offer larger character sets, automatic
glyph substitution, and enhanced multilingual support (among other
things). Although these features may not mean much for the web, they
might be important for other uses.
Just a thought.
