The only reason that I know that prevents us from adding dictionaries to the code-line (and that way to the vanilla product) is license issues. If the dictionary provider did not add a matching open-source license we simply can not include them. This was one reason for introducing dictionary extensions. They can be uploaded to the extension repository with whatever license they have. That way all users can download them but the dictionaries license does not affect the OOo distribution. since it is not included by default. Thus if anyone wants us to include dictionaries by default it should by the provider of that dictionary since only that person can legally add a matching open-source license.
