Well, if all the plugins were one then there would be no need for plugins would there? We would have an emulator like ZSNES that doesn't use plugins. Also, think of all the plugin combinations that are used to make a game run faster and necer-looking, for example, with DK64 I use Jabo's DSound, Glide64 Video, whilst for Conker's Bad Fur day I use Azimer's Audio 0.40 and Jabo's Direct3D6 video, and with Mario64 I use Jabo's Direct3D6 video and Azimer's LLE audio.

You see what I mean? Uber plugins or a no-plugin system would dramatically hurt game compatibility.
