The Emacs maintainers are responsible for delivering a complete,
cohesive, functional, and pleasant version of Emacs "out of the box",
"batteries included", without requiring any additional installations
by the user. That is a difficult and thoughtful tasks.

My guess, is that they keep that goal very much in mind, full well
knowing that if people are unhappy with their approach, they will
simply improve upon themselves.

Hard to imagine, but a lot of people do not customize everything :).
