It's probably easier for devs to just include mod support in the game. Steam workshop is a godsend for a lot of moddable games. Rimworld is incredibly replayable on its own, but with the workshop you can completely customize every aspect.
Yes it would be nice but there are many reasons I would want official versions of the best. First off, game companies have little financial incentive to make modding happen. Second, most mods don't work on all platforms, such as consoles. Hopefully official versions would get wider release. Third, some financial incentives for modders, like the chance that they could sell their mod to add to the original title, would hopefully help the modding community.
Funny you mention Rinworld...
...which does exactly that - includes mods in main game with updates xD
