The reason is that a GIMP project may contain more than one "finished
product"; XCF only collects data relevant to *one* image. For example,
I may want to produce various sized versions of a logo.

In addition, XCF does not contain information about how GIMP windows
and tools were organized around the related collection of output
images. A "project" would, in my mind, collect everything: related
images and GIMP configuration.
