This is an issue we couldn't resolve in Emacs 29.  There are various
aspects of that, basically related to the current decision to make
these modes completely optional and yet allow users to activate them
easily.  If you are interested in details, please search the
emacs-devel list for relevant discussions, between November and now.
We will need to revisit this after Emacs 29 is released ad we get some
user feedback.

We made it a separate package because its settings are shared by
several other modes, which users should be able to activate
independently.  Again, look up relevant discussions around the time
the file was created, and you will see the problems it was intended to
solve (and did solve).
