It serves different business purposes. Atlassian make money by selling each individual product license. Also there is a reason why they are not part of a single unified platform, some of then were aquisitions, etc.
There are many players doing "unix" application, and very few trying to build a suite. You need to pick your fights.
But there are definitely some customers who are sidelined by this approach. Atlassian is pretty committed to tools that talk to each other with documented APIs (Jira, Confluence, Bamboo, Bitbucket/Stash), and for large organizations, that's often a better fit.
