Well look at it this way, besides creating/modifying/dropping the object that you want your also performing a number of updated/inserts/deletes from the data dictionary. Those data dictionary tables are just that, tables. Now imagine what a mess would be created if you performed a DDL statement and then rolled back the data dictionary updates? These MUST be completed as a single autonomous transaction, so Oracle does you a favor and performs an implicit commit. Same thing with any other DBMS I've been associated with.
