There is no need for the watchlist to just be a list of pages. It could include anything watchable, including users.
However, at the moment, you don't "watch" users, you watch pages. Users aren't watchable, so this argument doesn't hold any water.
I said you *could* include anything watchable. I know we don't at the moment, but that doesn't mean we can't. Really, it's just a matter of changing "Watch this page" to "Watch this user" when the page in question is in the User: namespace. There is a one-to-one correspondence between users (or IPs) and pages in the User: namespace (give or take, anyway), so it's really just a matter of presentation.
