Yes, they've decided not to do half-baked core code that interferes with those add-ons. If the add-on API is sufficient to implement those features such that they work well together and with the core code, it's entirely appropriate that Mozilla leave them to other people. Modularity is a good thing.

the problem is that the add-on API is full access to all the internals of everything. As a result, absolutely anything can be implemented as an add-on, but it also means that changing anything can break an add-on

All the more reason to be glad they're planning to stop changing stuff...
