For me, the lack of those features is itself a feature.
I don't have any interest in using the subpar terminals/"execute this thing" buttons included in many editors. I'd rather use a terminal that I actually like -- the one I use for everything else.
I also don't want any "magic" to happen under the hood to run a thing (looking at you, Java IDEs). I want anyone to be able to download the thing I'm working on and run it without being tied to a particular editor/IDE, and the best way to do that is to put your build/run stuff into something portable (shell script, Makefile, task file, whatever) instead of relying on a button in a GUI somewhere.
With maybe a few exceptions that I'm unaware of, all integrated terminals are optional features that can be disabled. I agree that editor-specific run configurations are over the top and bad form, however an integrated terminal is a very useful feature that I use all the time, especially when working with Go.
Edit: And that said, if I'm paying money for a product it better have features that I'm going to need, and if I don't need them it better have a way to disable them.

For me as well. However language specific IDEs these days usually don't have much if anything on more popular editors.
