ubuntu-core is *not* an image and *not* supposed to be used as a rootfs
without modification
some of its dedicated use cases can be non networked or user-less
systems, adding net-tools would break exactly that ...
if you want a minimal system, take the mini iso and run an install, use
debootstrap to roll a chroot, use live-build to roll a rootfs tarball,
there are plenty of options to get to a usable rootfs.
the purpose of ubuntu-core is simply different from what you are trying
to use it for (provide the most minimal booatable system that can still
run apt-get, this doesnt include users, sudo or networking at all)
