Perhaps I missed something, but I wonder why WP didn't just include ACF functionality in WP Core from the very beginning?

Why fight in public when you can just commoditize your dependant competitor?

Doing as you said is much smarter, but maybe takes a bit longer. My guess is Matt was reaching for some way to "hit them back" quickly.
