I guess, because if you wanted lighter and slower lenses, you would probably use a crop camera. The 18-55 is very light, for example. They see FF cameras as tools for more demanding people.

Yes, the equivalent of a consumer dSLR from the past is now a rebel camera with the 18-55 IS kit lens: You get better optical performance from both body and lens, the lens has a longer focal range and has IS, and it's only about 200g.   All you wish for.
