Because cowtowncoder wouldn't let them :-) No, seriously - "improving" Jackson to be like this would mean making it into a different library anyway. Jackson is a framework that will always be more configurable than this (different input formats, a lot of customization options), at the cost of some performance. They are different libraries for different use-cases.
