So you're saying that it's better to have an incomplete program that lacks important functions, and to have those functions provided by 3rd party add-ons?
What's "important functions"? What's important to one user might be unimportant to another.
Hmmm. The trouble is, you might be right!!!
What's the "trouble"? That's how other applications works.
(And in case anyone wonders, yes, Sibelius has a raft of 3rd-part plugins, too. The difference seems to be that while they can be very handy, they aren't absolutely essential to the normal use of the program.)
What's "normal use"? People have been able to create material with Finale before plug-ins was possible. And for most of these new plug-ins (that I started making these new plug-ins a couple of months ago), they are based on my own needs, not based on any huge discussion threads about what Finale can't do.
And FWIW, all big applications today dealing with various needs from various users implement a MUCH more modular approach than Finale and Sib do.
