Why are events included but a stopwatch isn't by default?

I think it would make sense to have a stopwatch in the Alarms app - it's useful and standard in most phone clock apps, but right now you have to download a separate app for one, taking storage and launcher space. I'm curious as to why one isn't currently included, while events are, which are just alarms but they can go off on a day later than the current day.

Is it really a big deal to install a stopwatch app?

I think there's a concern that many people wouldn't like the 'default' stopwatch and are then stuck with it even if they then install a new one.

Fair. I would suggest making it extensible but that would create an app launcher inside an app launcher. However, I just discovered sortorder, which also fulfills my goal of making it easy to launch.
