For one thing, LaTeX needs no justification for doing something except that it is there. See newcommand, which replaces def, only more complicated. You will never see it used even in LaTeX macro packages because it's so icky-pooh. Secondly, the thing is called \eqalign. Why it would not work in LaTeX I can only guess. Ok, so I can't.
