Because the code definition is also a one-liner, probably only a couple of instructions, and way faster in an ITC Forth than calling SWAP and <. The most important instances deal with compiler directives (structure words, DOES> and things of that sort, which are can be very short code definitions but tortuous to do in high level without access to the underlying VM.
