Why does evil-insert-digraph take a COUNT argument?

Hi all, I wonder why evil-insert-digraph (usually bound to ^K in insert mode) takes a number COUNT as its first argument. That requires entering ^K NUMBER CHAR1 CHAR2, which is different from vim. Isn't it possible to make evil-insert-digraph accept an optional numeric prefix, as other Emacs functions do?
