Because MIDI has totally open-ended semantics that the host cannot
track. We've been over this point several times. Allowing a plugin to
accept MIDI as a control input means that the host has no idea what
the state of the plugin is.
Does the host need to know? Mike seems to think so. I don't have
strong opinions, but my actual experience has always involved the host
knowing.
