They're listed because in a standard installation, they're present.
They are categories of application, and I guess you don't have the
relevant Lisp packages installed.
How you install additional Lisp packages depends on how you installed
XEmacs and what kind of system you are using.
What use is a package system when the user interface is cluttered up by
everything that _could_ be installed?
It would appear a good idea to me if the respective menu entries were
added by autoloads contained in the package.
The package autoloads are expensive in startup time; getting some
payback over monolithicness would seem appropriate.
