Well, yes, a lot can be done in an extension.

But, please, what is a proper reason to not have this in the default
install?

You would not put the "Go" button into an extension, telling people "You can 
hit Return instead, anyway!", would you?
Or the search box itself... clearly an extension outsourcing candidate, no? You 
can use the address bar to go to google, yahoo, wikipedia etc. and search from 
there.

Therefore, please tell me: Why should some highlighted text be searchable, and 
some other not? Just because it's in an input box? Is the first more equal than 
the second?)
That's plain bad usability.
