Because unless it's bundled it will still need to be downloaded, and if one
needs to download and install something it could just as well provide
multiple window, menus, and other options not possible in a browser.

Look at the number of plugins in '98, and how few are left today.  Bundling
is the advantage of plugins.  Without bundling, an engine's an engine....
