Because it's defined to. :-P

[my-prompt]$ gedit --new-window mydocument.txt


To get Nautilus to open text (or whatever) documents in a new Window by 
default, configure that in Nautilus (by telling it to run the above 
command), not in gedit. Other apps with which you experience this 
behaviour may or may not (but probably will) have an analogous command 
line option. Something like

[my-prompt]$ myapplication --help

will usually tell you if this is the case.
