The question is not why we can't, but why we should: "most other
programs" don't even have the option to display in a separate window
rather than a separate frame. So of _course_ they display in a
separate frame.
We have the option to use a separate window instead. For me, a
separate window would be less noisome. It also would give the splash
screen a longer expected time of survival since the splash screen does
not have to be immediately dismissed (or a window rearrangement bout
started) before being able to commence any work.
Your mileage may vary. That's why we are discussing here, and it is
of course a somewhat theoretic discussion since every person here will
not want to get bothered by a splash screen unless there is no useful
other screen content, anyway.
