RaisePropertyChanged(\"SomeProp

It helps to look at things from a different perspective: those are not complicated .NET properties, but simplified dependency properties.

Bindable properties of a view model in WPF are not identical to .NET properties, instead it is a kind of key-value store. If you want light-weight alternative to DependencyObject, you have an ability to implement this key-value store just buy calling certain function in setters - not bad, actually. Far from ideal too, of course, but your point of view is certainly unfair.
