The accounting and reporting files are well-defined and easy to
parse/filter or, say, insert into a database.  With XML you have
additional problems over parsing.  The output from qstat et al is at
least undocumented and version-dependent, in some cases inconsistent
with the readable version, and possibly ill-formed.
