Correct.

You are indeed wrong. The reason is to save space. The larger the core gets,
the less memory is available - this is especially important on the Archos
targets which are quite limited. This functionality is implemented using
plugins simply because it's possible to do.

I don't think you should put any code into the core for this reason, but
separating the plugins used by the system from the regular plugins (into a
separate category) might be useful.
