Most of them are done by non-Mozilla developers, yes, but also part of it is the idea that you can customize your browser to do what you want and only what you want. Not everyone wants to have their web browser do IRC, or change its name every time you start it ;-) Some people want a really lightweight browser. Also, it means outside developers can improve on the original design. For example, the AdBlock extension is much more powerful than the built-in ad blocking...
