Because Text is the visual companion for String. With Text, you can add various attributes to shape the visual appearance of String such as through emphasis, color, and other font-related things. Fonts are already in the Graphics package. TextStyle, too. A version of NewParagraph that would be independent from Morphic would fit into the Graphics package, too.

So many reasons. :-)
