They actually do this if they find packages by other people are of general use for them/their users. For example there are some packages originally built by me in the distribution for some releases now. But they can't do this for every package because making a package what you call "official" produces additional work for them and they don't have infinite ressources. If you are so focused in putting stuff into ISOs you should just convince the 3rd party packagers to produce ISOs out of their repositories or do this on your own with their packages.
