Packages are included in the repositories if and only if a developer or trusted user is interested in maintaining the package. In my opinion, it's best for packages to be maintained by people who actually use and care about them even if it means that they're in the AUR instead of the official repositories. These AUR maintainers have the opportunity to apply as a trusted user in the future.
