Because it is just not about the application but the whole system. With the
apache filter SAPI enabling short_open_tag is really a no-op. As for the
other SAPIs it mostly depends on what kind of files are used and whether an
extension such as htscanner is at hand or not.
If that's not available, having to change the settings for every application
is a mess. By making it a runtime-only option they would always work.
