This looks like it's going to be neat! But why does it come bundled by default [1], instead of an optional package?

[1] https://atom.io/packages/github

So they should ship it as a promotional tool?

You can make the argument that they want to encourage you to submit patches to the project which is on github.

It's kinda the same deal with GNU Emacs which bundles a whole bunch of stuff that is directly related to the GNU project.

Really at the end of the day it's a fork away to shipping with SVN,CVS,mercurial,gitlab or whatever.

Many of these features already exist as an optional package.
