Because if the software isn't running on the same machine the simulator
is, it won't do you much good. :)

Also, you don't have to worry about the target window state and whether or
not the window can receive data from the SendMessage() call.  You also
have to worry about key assignments.  What happens if your "gear" key
isn't the same as the next guy that uses the software?
