I have noticed that difficulty, too. Even at much more basic things
than widgets, such as good programming practices. It seems to me that
there is a tendency to keep things frozen into naive, impractical,
programming, because that is the way that each generation is thought
to do it, and passes it on, unaltered, to the next. Just because they
were never thought any better, and made to think that is all that
there is to programming.

That particular class happened to be designed that way primarily to be
used by much more complicated applications, some with a compound
widget that examines a cube's contents (written using Catalyst),
others that use it to process and store many cubes into a sav file, in
a way that they can be easily used later, even allowing to recreate
the ISIS cube files.
