sh needs to be as lean and mean as possible, IMHO.  It's the shell used by
your average Un*x script, so adding filename completion, line editing, blah,
blah would add Feeping Creaturism to sh.  sh is also _statically_ linked
because it's in /bin (necessarily because of scripts and /etc/rc in Bourne
shell language) so adding libedit alone would be painful.
