It is interesting to me too. Why this file is not included in new release? Thus, updating up to the new version does not pass automatically. We should copy a file jquery.js manually. Practically everyone use it and, I think, it should be included in new release.
Core comes with a given release of jQuery, they do not update to the latest release of jQuery when updating a given release (5.x, 6.x) of Drupal. One reason for this is jQuery releases are not always backward compatible so updating jQuery is more than just dropping in the latest release. This is where the jQuery module comes in, they provide not only a newer version of jQuery but also any core js files that needed to be updated.
