That would save typing in some cases and would follow American and other
conventions. But c' etc. is just the natural way of calling the notes in
Dutch, German and many northern and eastern European languages, pointing
back to the Dutch origins of LilyPond.
(Usually c, is written C though). So here in Germany it is an advantage
when teaching LilyPond to newcomes: You write the notes just by their
name: d' fis' a' d'' – as easy as that.
