Right, but that's precisely why one roots.

It is more of an issue with the non-GSM carriers. For instance, the Galaxy S II does not have much in the way of third party support due to the lack of availability for drivers for the wireless for Sprint. You could get a ROM built for it, if you really didn't want 3G or WiMax.
Hadn't been following the rooting process for the SII, since I'm still on the original Galaxy S, but are you really saying that none of the multiple flavors of ROM for the SIII have allowed 3G and WiMax on the Sprint network?

Very often, certain ROMs are virtually stock with a few necessary improvements because there are people who enjoy that.

I prefer to get rid of most (and sometimes all) of the overlay because bloatware is the perennial drawback to most hardware.

It sounds as though porting a ROM for that purpose would be incredibly easy if one did find the drivers:
