But if everything was built in, PHP would be a lot slower and bloated.  
The extensions allow users to pick and choose what they need in order to 
have the most efficient system possible.

By the way, there is a movement to unify all of the database functions, 
which could ultimately obviate the need for PEAR DB, et al.
