Well, the single block cipher isn't used just in ->setkey(), but also in ->encrypt() and ->decrypt() (not for the bulk of the data, but for 1 block). So allowing its implementation to be specified might make sense.
The question is is it performance-critical? Including it as a parameter would be worthwhile if it is. But if its cost is dwarfed by that of the accompanying operations then it might not be worth the complexity.
