Because rubygems.org is not operated by the core team.
The advantage of stdlib is not only "comes with ruby by default" but
also "tested and provided by the core team", I think.

Frankly speaking, I don't think that rubygems.org is so dependable for
the core team to consign stdlib.
Even if it is dependable, the smaller trusted base is, the better.
