That would save typing in some cases and would follow American and other conventions. But c' etc. is just the natural way of calling the notes in Dutch, German and many northern and eastern European languages, pointing back to the Dutch origins of LilyPond. (Usually c, is written C though). So here in Germany it is an advantage when teaching LilyPond to newcomes: You write the notes just by their name: d' fis' a' d'' – as easy as that.
