Are there plans regarding to this?
Some packages require active development and some don't; two extremes that come to mind are Tetris and CEDET. The former is at this point a signature Emacs feature and lightweight enough to be a lisp package so it makes sense to keep it built-in. The latter would need to constantly keep up with the developments of the programming languages it supports; making it optional would free up developer time. (Especially taking into account that lsp based alternatives seem to be overwhelmingly more popular as per the survey.) If it is considered a core feature of Emacs, such heavy packages would benefit greatly from migration to C code.

It's near the top of my todo list, but I don't seem to ever get to it ...

Right; that is a benefit of being able to bundle ELPA packages.

CEDET is a very large project, though mostly unmaintained, but there're
still some small pearls(like pulse.el, data-debug.el).
It's good if we can filter out these pearls and keep it in Emacs.
