Why no Cyrillic?

[Chew G]

In my experience as a musician, singers learning songs in ANY foreign language (even French or German) often like to put their version of a phonetic equivalent under the notes. But now we are verging on the terrain of jokes about the brainlessness of singers...
 
On the main point though, even as a non-Russianist I have no problem with the Cyrillic alphabet and am surprised that anyone else on this list might.

This discussion makes me wonder:
1) would someone learning a Polish song, who did not know Polish, also need
the lyrics represented in some kind of transliteration?
