1. You could easily, in your .vimrc, which could be shared across
systems implement exactly what you ask with very simple vimscript
which has already been posted in response to your rants.
2. By default, Vim does not look for .vim and stop, because that's not
how the runtimepath is supposed to work. BY DESIGN, THE ENTIRE
RUNTIMEPATH IS SEARCHED. Yes, some C code would be added to default
the runtimepath differently depending on whether a .vimrc or _vimrc is
found. But this is trivial to implement in vimscript so I doubt very
much it will happen.
