Philipp, thanks for your strong language?!?!
I don't think you understand. I develop WP sites because that is requested by them. I loathe having to do WP sites, however, I also understand that it feeds my family. End users always here about how great WP is, but then the typical end user can't figure out how to update their newsletter page and upload a pdf, (yes, experience).
WP is an over bloated 600 file behemoth. Yes, it has advantages, but the disadvantages are overwhelming. Why does WP need 5 times the resources to load a page than GS? Why don't you look at your #top and check it out. 15% cpu load on my quad server for 1 page?
I also know about SEO, robots, meta data, blah blah blah... Does the end user know about these things? From my experience, the majority do not. Put a WP new page next to a GS new page and tell your grandma to figure it out.
So, no, we don't need to add all this to the core. I honestly believe the core is at about 90% perfection. There are a few things that need to be fixed, and very little that needs to be added, and some things removed.
Create and use plugins to add functionality. Don't waste my time telling my clients to ignore the 10 extra fields when they edit a page, and don't waste my server resources when it's unnecessary.

Clients always want to be able to change the content of their pages, but they are unwilling to do so.
Have you ever coded in your underwear before?
