Right now the ground reality is, not many products use the dashboard stuff. Also AFAIK many products currently don't have a clear vision on how to integrate a dashboard into the product UIs. So until we get those issues sorted I don't think we should add this to the Carbon core. In the mean time perhaps we can look for ways to reduce the size of these components and figure out better ways to integrate them with the products.
