I can only point to etc/refcards/README:

  Some of the *.tex files need special versions of TeX to typeset
  them. The files cs-*.tex and sk-*.tex need csTeX, a special version
  of TeX tailored to typesetting Czech and Slovak documents. We
  provide generated files for these documents, so that you could print
  them without installing the modified TeX versions.

I did have to install extra stuff for German, Russian, Polish and
Czech.

But I suspect that most distributions that provide TeX also provide
easily installable add-on language support.

More generally, I guess it's because TeX itself is not on all systems
and the size of the PDFs is not great.
