Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of having system-wide spell checking etc, if it works differently on every app because of app-specific custom dictionaries?
Not really. One example could editing markup like LaTeX or HTML. A built in spell checker that understood and knew that tags weren't spelling mistakes and could warn you if you misspelled common tags could be quite handy. However applying this dictionary to all text you wrote in all apps would be quite pointless.
