This is not because we wanted it to be this way, it's because we didn't have anybody who wanted to consume the editor with key bindings etc. as a component yet. Sounds like now is the time to work on making it a component.
What's the interface you would like to see? The simplest possible interface I can think of is an object you can call setText and getText on. You could pass the id of a div in the constructor, or something like that. You probably want to be called when the dirty state changes. Anything else? Who would react to Ctrl+S, the editor? What about the outline and the error markers, would you expect that to be part of the component?
I've filed an enhancement request for the detailed discussion: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=337647
