> why there is such a huge resistance in including those

I don't know about all the reasons, but personally I stay away from projects who try to bundle in as much functionality as possible into one "all-in-one" thing. I prefer approaches where you yourself chose the right library for the problem at hand, as it tends to be that different libraries have different tradeoffs, and I want to chose those tradeoffs myself. Summarized as The Unix Philosophy or "do one thing and do it well" I suppose.

I'm not saying it's wrong of Bun to include those things, their value proposition is the "all-in-one" approach, which a large group of people seem to like, so seems they're doing right by their audience.

But again, personally I don't like the tradeoffs involved with that approach, but I wouldn't try to convince Bun either to go against their explicit goals.
