What's the explanation for all these things lacking?

Perhaps the fact that they could never wrap everything. Look at MFC - it doesn't wrap everything either. There are practically limitless possibilities and they couldn't possibly provide support for everything because there's always different ways of doing things and different reasons for using different code.

I guess the important question is, is Microsoft planning on filling the missing pieces in future releases?

I don't know. Probably not. WinFX in Longhorn will wrap a lot of other functionality but, once again, probably not everything because it would be almost impossible to do such as I mentioned before.

The BCL includes stuff that most applications need. When you start worrying about things like Windows position or drawing a Window frame title, you're already typing an application to a particular OS because that stuff is handled different in different Windows managers like Windows, KDE, Gnome, Aqua, etc.
