Why a graphics editor?

Apple includes such an option inline in its Mail Client.

MS Windows includes such tools in its screenshot application.

Why should I have to open a separate app to annotate an image that I can
already resize, crop, rotate, remove red eye and adjust lightening within
the picture viewer? All of those seem like things that should be in a
graphics editor too.

Something like the gimp or inkscape is in no UX friendly shape to provide
this for eOS's target audience.
