Much of the information in static info tables is pretty basic 
information that should be available to the system anyway.
It could be put in an optional core extension, but there is always the 
question which module must be part of the TYPO3 package and which is 
optional?
Installation with dependencies is working great these days, so it 
doesn't make it complicated for a user to install an extension which has 
dependencies.

For performance it's best to have as little modules installed as 
possible, but on the other hand you want a feature rich and complete 
CMS. Perhaps the "basic core" package should be lean and contain only 
the absolutely necessary parts, while the "complete + dummy" package is 
bigger and includes also a series of not yet installed, often used 
modules? Which is of course a completely different discussion.
