I agree.

Also a lot of other software depend on these basic platforms being
pre-installed.

It's just a one-time install , once you configure JDK or .Net (your
choice) , all other software that use those technologies will work
with no further configuration.

It's also a good idea not to pre-package the dependencies into any one
software , because it gives the flexibility to the end-user to use
whatever version of JDK or .Net they want , that is compatible with
the s/w being installed.
