I usually need a calendar too. So we need a calendar. And I often need a 
shop. So we need a shop system.

And if you ask more people, they will tell you other functions they need 
every time. In the end, you will end up with lots of extensions and nobody 
will use even half of them.

Actually it used to be that way, that TYPO3 was shipped with the extensions. 
But as Georg already said, you will bound updates and new functions to major 
TYPO3 releases.

That's is why the TYPO3 developers decided to take a different path. Just 
bundle the necessary functions with core and provide a public repository. 
Then you can easily take the components you need for your specific website.

That's also why core developers still try to separate functions. For example 
in the current version 4.5 LTS, you can remove the page, list and other web 
modules if you don't need them. 
The workspace and versions extensions are optional since longer, but the 
code is not yet completely separated from core. Maybe this will be done in 
4.6, but of course somebody has to do it.

To cut it short, the TYPO3 core should only ship the components which are 
necessary to create a website and which other extensions developers need to 
take care of.
Extensions are in repository and if you think that an extensions misses a 
feature, get in touch with the developer.

Best regards
