For every site I build I install the contrib module backup_migrate and I wonder why this is not a capability built in to core.

Would this be enabled by default? Would it something that could be turned off/disabled? I say this because I have issues with the backup and migrate module when installed on larger sites.

Whether it would be enabled by default or not is less certain. Feel free to add your thoughts in the Github issue queue.
I think the primary motivation for this is to make it easy for site admins to create a backup before running upgrade or making major changes. In my opinion, this feature is targeted at folks managing their own site on shared hosting.
