Comment (by eliorivero):

 Personally, I don't think this is needed in core. Pages and posts serve
 different purposes, they shouldn't become more similar (and actually in WP
 4.3 with comments disabled for new pages they became a little bit more
 different).

 In cases where a plugin uses the excerpt for social media description, the
 plugin itself can provide the necessary support for this. Same applies for
 page indexes and conditional page display: it's a presentational issue so
 it's the theme the one that should provide the proper support for this.

 Excerpt for pages can be easily added with this snippet from a plugin or a
 theme
