Why should we even have to download extra stuff in order to play a game.....When you buy a game you expect it to work and come with everything it needs, and if it needs something more it should tell you, not create problems and leave the users on their own little treasure/bug hunt fixes.

Because that's how games work...
You're basically asking "Why do we need an operating system to run programs?".
Games are dependent on certain libraries, for example DirectX 9; without it, it won't run.
The same way programs require an operating system with certain stuff in them.
TLDR: Good luck running BF4 on MS DOS.
