Well, IIUC "just this" requires live transformation of the typed input, a list of replacement rules and a UI to edit that list.
So, why a plugin:
1. because pluggablility is awesome 2. because it's not that tiny actually 3. because plugins are fairly cheap, and not very harder to develop than a core feature
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the feature though. Or maybe you're feeling a plugin is a worse version than a core feature, yet I do not.
