Can I explain it this way?
The built-in commands are usually more closely relataed to the OS, more underlying than seperate programms, like bindkey, cd, ulimit etc.
So they have to be built-in, they have to be implemented within the shell.

... in '59 I ran out of brakes *four times* -- and I don't mean they didn't
work very well, I mean I had none. Like the main oil line had sheared. You

just went squirting out into the atmosphere. Things like that. You know,

and everything -- if he could just get over this failing of his of making
things too bloody light. I mean, Colin's idea of a Grand Prix car was
it should win the race and, as it crossed the finishing line, it should
collapse in a heap of bits. If it didn't do that, it was built too strongly.
