When you save JPEGs, generally you do it either for web-gallery, or for print, or for display (to be used as wallpaper or something). Peter might correct me, but "Save for Web" implies doing a tradeoff between quality and file size, whereas neither print nor display destinations require that. Thus "Save for Web" is a plug-in that deals with a specialized usecase. That's it.
