It's true it does come up in the same window/tab, which is good, but
there are some disadvantages:
- help popups can't be moved to a separate window on the desktop so
you can see them side by side
- as implemented in other apps, it blocks interaction with the dialog
- they don't have a url that can be pasted in irc etc
- it's much harder to change the text and improve it
