You can install it manually if you want. The reason they did it is their version of bash is ancient since they don't want GPLv3 in the operating system.

Nooooo! Don't make me INSTALL a standard-compliant shell!! Make me install a NON-standard-compliant shell.

It's better to have an old version of a standard-compliant shell be the default. Users can easily install the latest bash/zsh, but make that a personal choice.

The license isn't a valid reason to swap out bash.

I'm pretty sure bash still comes with the system. It's only the default shell which is easily configurable.
