I can't comment on the thoughts of the original LyX author but I guess it's
a matter of simplicity: .sty/.cls files can contain arbitrary TeX
commands so it is really difficult to interpret correctly not to mention to
guess a good screen layout (WYSIWYG is not necessarily what you want on a
640x480 screen...)
