While true in theory, this may not help you too much in practise. The
linear STL containers are also special cases of graphs, mathematically
speaking, yet the fact that the concept of a vector is much much
simpler than that of a graph is a good reason to 'duplicate' this
container.

So in short: the tree library is much simpler than the graph library,
both in implementation and (most importantly) in usage. The tree
concept is a lot simpler to understand for most people than the graph
concept.
