They just add runtime dependencies that most of the platforms lack, and language skills above and beyond the Java language requirements the code base already mandates, which just creates obstacles to other people contributing. - Similarly, do not update existing libraries and dependencies - these are often tied to the versions on various platforms, and updates will likely break runtime - Do not include code specific to other plugins or mods. Dynmap has APIs for the purpose of avoiding the problem of working with other mods - there are many 'Dynmap-XXX' mods and plugins which use the APIs to provide support for other mods and plugins (WorldGuard, Nucleus, Citizens, dozens of others). Maintaining interfaces in Dynmap particular to dozens of mods on multiple versions of multiple platforms is unmanageable, so we don't do it.
