Illustrator didn't put that much emphasis on grads because it has the mesh tool which is a more sophisticated way of creating complex grad and 3d effects. I guess.

Even if we ignore the quite different uses of these two tools, I'd just like to point out that gradient meshes didn't appear in Illustrator until version 8 (where they were copied from Corel Draw). So Adobe had plenty of time to "put emphasis on grads" before that - yet they didn't.
