CMYK persists because at the end of the day the printers are still printing with cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink. So at some point the image has to be converted to CMYK. (Of course in theory you could use different colours too, but it would still be fundamentally different from RGB).
And since all printers, papers and inks are different, you can't just use device independent formats. Like I said in my previous post, you can't leave the conversion solely to the printer if you want predictable results.
