We don't have the manpower to maintain so many rom variations, and even then, the idea is to get everything we can out of the rom, not in. This is because roms are by nature not flexible and it is hard to update its contents (you need to flash them).
Roms were a great idea when back in the 80's almost everyone used their Amigas with floppies almost exclusively, and hard drives were absurdly scarce, slow and expensive.
Todays hard drives are fast, huge and cheap. They provide a way to load components and have them quickly updated without requiring specialized hardware.
