First, speaking and hearing are different to reading and writing. But to 
test your 'why': write this message out in morse, then try reading it, 
then try writing something in morse, then try reading it aloud...

Alphabets are highly evolved and efficient language mediums. Morse is a 
machine readable code for storing and transmitting, like ASCII. Try 
reading your morning newspaper, or the back of the cereal box, in 
ASCII(or morse).
