Two reasons.

1. Emmet's abbreviations are context sensitive.
   The mentioned "dib" only works for CSS.

2. Emmet is more advanced than any OS text expansion helper.
Emmet provides a CSS selector like syntax to generate HTML.

    ul#nav > li*3

generates

    <ul id="nav">
      <li>|</li>
      <li>|</li>
      <li>|</li>
    </ul>

http://emmet.io/ has a demo with even more features.
