The "do shell script" command, in contrast, does come standard with

requires no additional setup work on the part of the AS programmer to
gain access to it. Now, the shell, as it happens, does regular
expression matching. So using it seemed to be an obvious solution to
the problem.
Thing is that the "pure applescript" solution is understandable even
by beginners, whereas the regex solution is pure gibberish to anyone
who doesn't already know regex.
