This is equivalent to asking Linus to bundle a graphical desktop environment with the linux kernel so that there is one common front-end that everyone uses and newbies don't have to build their own linux desktop from scratch.
The difference between node and linux is that there are many competing linux distributions while node's ecosystem is mostly a massive unstructured collection of modules. What you're looking for is the Ubuntu of node. I've always said that something like this would be great for the community, but after years we're still using npm and basically a polite anarchy with regards to modules. There are companies like Strong Loop that are trying to fill this gap, and I wish them all the luck. But as a library developer, I like it that I can just write a node.js module and there are very few requirements to publishing. Node core will never constrain it's users to a specific vertical (like say web applications) because it's use is so much broader than that and even with a limited scope such as web development there are many variations and different competing requirements people have. I've used linux on everything from 64-core servers to tiny $10 mips based routers with only 4 mb of ram. Node is the kernel of JavaScript development.
