It's my preference for some language features, too.  Having those
available out of the box is convenient (and allows for easier
integration with the rest of Emacs).

It's pretty embarrassing that we don't have a built-in mode for PHP, for
instance (or at least it was back when PHP was popular).

But it depends on the language.  I think having the C# mode in ELPA is
fine, and there isn't much to gain in having it in Emacs core.
