Why bother with TeX at all if it can't handle line breaking?
For Maxima to generate line breaks for TeX, it would have to know all
the details of font sizes, kerning, page width, etc. If it has to know
all these things, it is not generating portable output, and it is not
benefitting from TeX's algorithms. So it might as well generate
Postscript directly.
For standalone use, this also avoids the overhead of the TeX and dvips
processes.
For use within a document, presumably TeX handles embedded Postscript.
