Although I wouldn't mind if some of those were available; they would
take up an insignificant amount of space compared to the rest of
Windows. And would open interesting possibilities, such as supplying
some programs as source code.
 
It also needs a better built-in scripting language than 'BAT' scripts.

Windows is primarily a corporate product and only secondarily consumer.
I suppose, with good degree of certainty, that few important corporate
clients will veto any attempt of Microsoft to provide compilers by
default or even with non-default, but easy to check checkbox during
installation.
I'd think, few of them already quite unhappy because of default
presence of powerful scripting engines.
