 Replying to [comment:6 greenshady]:

 The 10px are there to allow adding border to the wrapper so captions on
 the front-end look similar to captions in the visual editor. That was long
 before themes started to style the visual editor, even before browsers
 were supporting stuff like `box-sizing: border-box;` etc.

 Frankly I don't see why the extra 5px on each side of the image are such a
 problem. It's not necessary to add border to the wrapping div or the
 padding can be adjusted after taking the 5px into consideration. Themes
 that want to have full control can replace the whole [caption] shortcode
 rendering, adding/removing/modifying anything they like.
