Ask HN: Why is iTunes not in the App Store?

Why is iTunes not on the Mac App Store? I believe it is pre-installed on Macs but what if the user deletes it but still needs it?

I know you can download it online here: https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

but wouldn't it be much easier if it was just in the app store?

Did you just suggest the ability to DL an app with the app that is doing the DLing. if you delete the app.... Please tell me your trolling...

The mac app store is a standalone app.
