Because a plugin is not the kind of thing you want to synchronize with a 
database. Plugins are executable bites of TW and should not be mixed with 
user data. There are several reasons for this. One very important one is 
that plugins are loaded during boot process, and a sync adaptor does not 
start to sync until TW has started completely, so plugins will not work in 
any way. Other good reason is that one configuration that is good for one 
device, is not good for another device. For example on my mobile phone I 
have animation set to 0 for performance reasons and a mobile theme 
installed. On my computer, on the other hand I have power enough to have 
full animations, dozens of plugins (TiddlyMap for example) and things that 
does not make any sense on mobile like the keyboard shortcuts plugin. It's 
the same with any program if you think about it. Yo don't have the fonts 
you use with office in your dropbox folder, neither the installation folder 
of your excel application.

Tiddlypouch saves immediately locally. You can use it totally offline if 
you want. Then, if you have sync activated it syncs automatically when it 
can, yes

I want to provide:

   - Normal tiddlywiki save (not recommended). This will include all the 
   loaded tiddlers in the save operation
   - Save config
   - Database snapshot
   - Save as a normal wiki, without the plugin and with all the tiddlers. 
   Useful if you get tired of tiddlypouch

The second one should be used each time you make a change that is not 
synchronized to the server or you want to stick that change to the html 
file you are using. For example installing a new plugin, changing a 
configuration like wiki name, type of view (zooming) or any other config 
that is not saved on local db. How often each method is used depends on the 
end user.

They are a big company, and a team of programmers, and they totally own 
their application. I am just a single guy writing a plugin for an already 
existing tool. I just mentioned Evernote because the objective of 
TiddlyPouch is to turn TW into some kind of offline/online notebook like 
Evernote is.

It is impossible!! It is not released at any place. Unless you have access 
to my dropbox and you have grabbed an early version ;) Please do not mix 
this with couch adaptor. They are similar but different things.
