I agree. If you don't want to add the additinal complexity of switching
your scripts to using composer, or "polluting" your root with required
bins and vendors, you may do the same as I did a few months ago: create
your own TYPO3 core git repository, mirrored from the official one but
having a corresponding "custom tag" which includes the missing composer
requirements. You (probably) won't be able to use the development branch
but could easily have each and every 7.x tag with everything in it,
effectively going on with submodules.

Kind regards
