Structured info is needed to able to handle it from script or from external monitoring systems like Cacti and Nagios.
That's why INFORMATION_SCHEMA was created to provide SQL-like access to internal data.

If you do not like it - you are not forced to use it. We can add the same info to SHOW INNODB STATUS if this is more
preferable way for you.
But we also will have INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
