I can think of two reasons, though I'm not going to try to argue that either one is very strong. The first is you need some sort of internal list to appeal to if there is to be an imformats command. The second is that some formats have "options" one would want to employ---for instance, setting the quality for a jpeg image. Matlab's documentation spells out the various options it supports for the formats it offers, and to mimick them all (if that's a goal) will be tedious---I'm not necessarily intending to do so. Later users who come along and find they can write to some more exotic format X will perhaps wonder why they have to accept default options (i.e., not allowed to specify their own). But, to be fair, my guess is that the number of requests/complaints arising this way will be few. And, there is always the "you want it, you write it" response.
