Wasn’t this the model the Eclipse IDE uses/used?

No, JetBrains only makes some plugins available on specific IDE workloads, unless you buy InteliJ Ultimate.

Whereas you get the whole experience on Eclipse out of the box.

To keep in context, to this day you can't debug JNI on regular InteliJ, unless having CLion as well.

Something that Netbeans and Eclipse support for at least 20 years now.

Yes, and that aspect of Eclipse was good. Eclipse was too bloated and its language support wasn't nearly as good as anything by Jetbrains.

(It still exists but seems kind of dead outside Java shops.)
