In short, because of lifecycle. In Ubuntu Touch, applications are stopped when in the background, so the system offers services which provide support for long-running operations. One of them is playing audio: our QtMultimedia plugin is little more than a thin D-Bus library that delegates all the work to a D-Bus service (which itself is running GStreamer). Besides that, the media service also pauses the music when a phone call comes or an alert sound arrives, and has logic for a few other cases that would be hard (if not impossible) to achieve for a confined application.
