Because this was the simplest way, that created no complications,
neither to users nor to the code, and could be added in
backward-compatible ways.

I fail to see what's wrong with that. It is entirely legitimate to
have a major mode which depends on an optional feature and doesn't
work without it. Besides, we've lived this far without major modes
for those languages, so adding a tree-sitter based one cannot possibly
do any harm, it can only make things better for Emacs.

Because it doesn't work. Tree-sitter supported modes are not derived
modes, they are completely different modes with different settings
which make no sense when tree-sitter is not used.
