There are several reasons.

Firsts, if the function is to be used in a single file, its place is in that single file. There is no need to make it available for everyone if others are not going to use it.

Secondly, we already talked that it would be great to split t3lib_div because it became a huge monster.

Thirdly, I do not feel very comfortable having functions in index_ts.php too. I thought at lot about the better place. But index_ts.php seems to be the most logical place for the function, which works only in this file and not in any other place. I even thought about creating a dedicated class for this function but I decided that it is too much overhead for the same reason: use only in index_ts, extra [slow] inclusion, etc.
