PE is designed to edit camera profiles, not images. We expect that camera profile editing will be done relatively infrequently by most users, especially compared to the amount of time that will be spent processing images. Consequently, it does not make sense to integrate PE’s functionality and interface directly into CR / LR. Another strong reason (decoupling PE and CR releases) is given here.
