If Ubuntu-Tweak is broken in that manner, then why don't we fix it and
include it. I still don't see how your arguments against inclusion are
truly valid. For one thing, we can disable the Computer Janitor plugin
by default. Furthermore, IIRC, it does not work the same way as the
previous one that cause so much confusion and damage for users.
Secondly, as for scrolling on items, while that is a valid (if unlikely)
problem, the solution is simply to put a button next to options that can
scroll that will cause for the option to be reset. That's a super simple
fix (it's the same thing you get in CCSM, which IMO should also be
included by default after getting some love to make it look better; and
should just simply be invisible to users in the menu by default).
If you ask me, the only reason why they are not being included is
because of the previous problems with space on the CD, which is now a
joke because we've switched to DVDs and USBs.
I don't think it's particularly true that, "Ubuntu Tweak and similar
tools (concerning Unity) will not break anything".
Ubuntu Tweak still offers "computer janitor" which has been known to
confuse many end users, and even further if you "hover" the mouse
pointer in the wrong area in some "tweak areas" and "scroll" you can
easily change things with no obvious way to restore defaults.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great tool. I love using it to play with
themes in Gnome 3, regardless of DE, but it's far from mature enough
to be included in the repos.

I respectfully disagree. The options that can be tweaked from
Ubuntu Tweak and similar tools (concerning Unity) will not break
anything, and for the most part can be changed on the fly (without
restarting that is).
There is no reason not to include such a tool by default.
