There is a difference between wanting the ability do something and actually doing it.
The former is important because it makes itself unnecessary. If 90% of people are installing some third party modification, the developers notice and incorporate it into the ordinary installation, and then they don't need to anymore.
But without the ability to do that, that doesn't happen, and then everything is worse because you not only can't install it as a mod, it also then can't become popular enough as a mod to be incorporated into the standard distribution.
