JPA is a standard, and all implementations work with Java SE.

Derby is free to distribute and not always needed in every JRE
installation, so why include it for the grand majority of users who
don't need it?  If it's needed, the app will include the JAR, since
every Java developer will use the JDK and therefore will have Derby.
That suffices.

One advantage of the current distribution strategy is that the
developer can choose the DB and JPA providers.  Another is that the
user only gets the libs needed for their apps.

That the SE comes from wherever (Oracle, IBM, another party), the
database from wherever (Derby, Postgres), and the JPA from a third
(Oracle, Apache), is not a detriment but an asset.  It's called
choice.  Learn to like it.
