I think a major reason is licensing: the GNU readline library is licensed
under the GPL, whereas the O'Caml toplevel is licensed under the QPL, and
these two licenses are not compatible. Check
http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/LICENSE.html
for more info.
Since `ledit' is a standalone program, this sort of thing doesn't crop up.
