What ya all think? Should Apple put their messages, iTunes, calendar etc in the App Store for easy bug fixes and new features? Rather then waiting to release a software patch to fix any broken apps??

If an app is really broken we usually see an incremental iOS update pushed out to fix it. This allows Apple to sneak in bug fixes for other things as well. I'm personally okay with how things are operated as-is.

I'm not! There's a few stock apps I wish they had left optional in the App Store. My unused folder is growing!

Sure. There are plenty of stock apps I could do without. I wasn't relating being in the App Store with being able to delete. I guess they go hand in hand.
