Like I said in a previous thread.
Despite many people saying you don't like it most people like their monsters to be put into 4e roles.
Some monsters are dumb attack brutes.
Some monsters are long range snipers.
Some monsters are fancy elites.
Some monsters are solos with elaborate combat schemes.
Some monsters are non-combat tricksters with effect based control.
Some monsters are low maintenance minions
Because five is math was not built on a very stable easily managed math model, It would take 15 to 20 pages including artwork in order to fit in a monster creation system of the quality that the D&D fan base would desire.
Grayhawk, Bastions, and Planar stuff ate that additional page count.
