Because it's not necessary. Not everybody installs using easy_install, for a start. You've no doubt seen the problems people have with getting all the pre-reqs together for using django on the django-suers list. It's only a few KB of code, so we can include it easily. One of the design principles in Django is "batteries included", particularly when doing so has effectively no downside. Periodically, we'll update the included simplejson; it's easy to do and has no impact. This really isn't a decision worth worrying about.
