Why not?

IMHO, PHP should not be shipped with any tool for installing PHP
components (PEAR Installer, Composer, ...) or extensions (PECL Installer,
...).

In my experience, people either install PHP using the package manager of
their OS distribution or they build PHP from the sources themselves. In
the latter case, they know how to build/install extensions manually and do
not need a tool for that.
