AFAIU the core of LLDB is supposed to be as generic as possible. Plugins are supposed to provide the abstractions over programming language/runtime specifics. There's some discussion here: https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/contributing.html#lldb-plugins-and-their-dependencies

I'm not sure whether there's more to it other than "it's LLDB's preferred architectural design". @JDevlieghere @jimingham will be able to say more on this
