So?  Emacs doesn't try catering for users who don't type M-x for
religious reasons either.  If you want to pull in the bits of ELPA
manually, you are not the person Emacs is built and maintained for.
There is no point in Emacs trying to particularly support people who
don't want to use the core facilities of Emacs.

If you choose to do things your own way, you are responsible for it.

Why would you "hear" about some random addition to the core?  The
package manager, in contrast, actually lists new packages.
