because it doesn't?

if you start Pd via the menu (or the file association), it will start
the GUI which will launch the core.
this is mainly to open additional files (via file association) in an
already running instance of Pd.

if you start Pd from the cmdline (e.g. by running "pd") it will start
the core which will launch the GUI - which is most likely the expected
way to start Pd and all it's cmdline args.
if - on OSX - you start Pd from the cmdline (e.g. by running
"Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd") it will start the core which will
launch the GUI.

so the reason why Pd is sometimes launched from the core and sometimes
from the GUI is that there are different use-cases.
