Perhaps because it's much easier to get used to Emacs's behavior wrt
cursor movement than to implement the feature you want.

Please write to emacs-devel@gnu.org.

Can you explain why do you need the popup windows so badly (and what
do you mean by that, exactly)? You gave one example, but is that
really all there is to it?

Emacs has an optional feature to cause it pop up a new frame
(``window'' in your parlance) to display comlpetion results. See the
documentation of the variable `special-display-buffer-names'. Why
isn't this sufficient?
