The reason is that copy-pasting code is easier and faster than writing
abstractions that avoid code duplication. And "working" is better than
"perfect".
I'm all in favour of doing the extra work that removes code
duplication. If you're in the mood to do this, there are many, *many*
places in the Octave code where it can be done.
