Several reasons:
1) APC is well maintained, by the same people who work on PHP.
2) The license does not preclude it's inclusion into the base version.
3) most people don't use any opcode cashes, which is not ideal when it
comes to PHP.
4) apc inclusion does not prevent alternatives from existing...

What are your views on including APC in the core, or reasons
not to?
Dictatorship?
Optional module which have well used alternatives should not be
proced
on by default! Probably more people use alternatives and have
for years?
pecl has been around for years. Nobody else has submitted an
opcode
cache to pecl. We certainly would not have rejected any such
submission, and we still won't.
Well eaccelerator has served me well for years on both Windows and
Linux
and has been listed on wikipedia for years before APC was added ;)
Just
because people don't like restrictive source management does not
mean
good code is not available.
No, it is not enough to just have source code. The developers need
to
play along as well.
? eaccelerator is being actively developed, and builds are available
for more versions of windows setup than PHP itself currently
supports so the developers of it are playing along much better then
PHP core developers. And a number of alternatives have also been
listed by others. So the question has to be "Why should APC be given
special treatment?" Is it any better than the currently available
alternatives or is it still playing catchup much like PDO?
Perhaps a poll on what people are actually using in production?
