That's the unix philosophy of using one tool for one thing, that does it well. The advantage is that it really opens a marketplace which means you are not tied to one solution if that solution turns out to suck. An alternative will quickly pop up, you switch, everybody does that, and in no time the bad piece has been worked around and replaced. This works against the "batteries included" philosophy but avoids being stuck for a long time with sub-par components.

Over time, when things stabilize, that approach can change. But nvim is still very much a moving target.

Python tries a middle ground. An http server is included, sime crypto libs are as well, but if you need something specialized you can still install alternative modules. That model seems to work well.
