Let's change the config then, seriously it works better and is faster for me compared to dmenu_run and does not require the extra tool to begin with.

But it does require xmonad-contrib to be installed; the core deliberately does not depend on xmonad-contrib, and I suspect getting XMonad.Prompt merged to core will be something of a battle.

While true, I think everybody installs xmonad-contrib and that means example configurations should be updated to use shellPrompt instead. Which example configs are in core and are you sure none of them rely on xmonad-contrib? shellPrompt seems to be invisible to most XMonad users and that's very unfortunate to say the least.
