Because the template example he gave the name of the template was $abcHTML thats all in his example.

Now the point I am making is I can make what I am doing work by defining a new hook works great. even pre registering values can work fine but that still means you need to hand edit the actual template you want to insert it to and place the variable there. With str_replace you never had to hand edit templates plugins where just that true plugins without having to touch the vb code. If I upgrade vb then one will have to redo there template edits which to me is a huge design flaw. If the vb developers are going to lock you into doing things a certain why then they really need to place template hooks in alot of places.
