And newer versions of Photoshop can work with vector objects, so the image may not have needed to be rasterized at all.
I've personally wondered why they still keep Illustrator around. Why not just add the illustrator tools to photoshop? I don't know any artist who works purely in illustrator, every single one of them starts in illustrator and finish their drawing in photoshop, because illustrator lacks certain features or those features are too much of a pain to use. So why not just get rid of illustrator.

I think Adobe has been moving in that direction for the last few years, with improvements to Photoshop's vector tools.

I haven't used any versions of Illustrator newer than 10, but colouring was always pretty finicky in it (E.g., the "Gradient Mesh" tool).
