Because Tesseract was developed by HP and later on by Google to handle recognition in a non-GUI, batch-mode, automated manner. Like reading all the books scanned by Google to enable us to search them, or scanning street images for street names, signs and suchlike.
As I stated in one of my previous posts, Tesseract works *for me* in a satisfactory manner, and I do not have to buy [or pirate] a commercial software with much nicer GUI for an occasional OCR of a book (that I might want to abandon after reading a few pages). At work I use commercial OCR software, but I need to do completely different things there. And that commercial software has earned its price after a few uses.
