I am one of those reading mainly in a foreign language (English) and am quite happy to have a integrated dictionary.
If you don't want a dictionary, you don't have to put one on your reader. Like that you can reduce the cost of that feature (no license cost, no used memory). The Mobipocket software already had this feature before it was ported to E-Ink devices. The cost for keeping it was probably not that high. Leaves the cost for developing the UI. *shrug*
I might be biased but I see why this is seen as a positive feature especial by companies from the non English speaking part of the world.
