'!' also looks like a staccatissimo,

e'4-! cs-! bf-! g-! e'-! cs-! \tuplet3/2{bf-> g-> e->}
e'4-' cs-' bf-' g-' e'-' cs-' \tuplet3/2{bf-> g-> e->}
indicates an exclamation which "Hey!" is conceptually similar to a
staccatissimo,
is easier to type on key layouts that use ''' for accents (like mine,
US deadkeys on Windows).
''' would look ridiculous when using octave checks: e'='-'
Well, we can have eis'!='-! or even eis!=-! as well, but then
octave-less octave checks always look like an oddity. But forced
accidentals are usually less frequent than octave marks.
And I agree that in the non-contrived interlinear comparison above, the
variant using ! is less of an overall distraction.
