There was a thread on internals@ recently explaining why it has the
internal tz database -- mainly that it runs on platforms which have no
tz database at all...
Also, many admins aren't updating their tz database as religiously as
you, so it ends up being better in the opinion of the PHP Dev Team to
embed the tz database.
At least, this is my recollection of the thread.
