Having a Java runtime environment doesn't help you with mobile development,
you'd have to install Eclipse as well - and that pull in Java anyway. I also
don't think a technology being "popular" is a good reason to include it by
default, otherwise we'd include ruby on rails, django, docker, and PHP by
default.
AFAIK, Microsoft Windows does not come with a .doc viewer by default.
It does. Its called "WordPad".
