you can rewrite a lot of the WP functionality by writing a plugin. if your plugin is popular, it's modifications may be absorbed into the core software that is distributed at wordpress.org. you're calling open source development dirty workarounds.

If it worked like that, WordPress would already be OOPed and MVCed isn't it?
Nope, I don't follow up the WordPress development at all so I can't judge

However, I can't believe none of the WordPress developers has never suggested to rewrite it using nowadays technologies?

i'm not sure i follow. are you suggesting that the wordpress development team discourages participation?
