Because I agree with everything you said here.

First off, let us remember that `cc' is NOT the C compiler. It is
just the coordinator for all the phases that build programs.
Therefore, I see no inconsistency with allowing `cc' to call lint
if a given option is specified. This might encourage non-unix
vendors to include lint with their products.
