Probably because it hasn't been a high priority on anybody's list.

Aside from Dreamweaver and PageMill (HTML), the formats you list above are
proprietary.  Try opening a Word document, for example, in a simple text

I'm not an employee but I'm guessing it probably is a lot to ask for a
company that is not the size of Adobe, Microsoft, Quark or Macromedia.  You
can always add a feature request to BugZilla/RevZilla.
