We do have metainfo for that in F21:

If we enabled this "mode" they'd be thousands of items, all with the
same icon. Like Mo says; it's a different app. You want a GUI
application you use gnome-software. You want a package GUI, use
gnome-packagekit. I think trying to mush the two into one coherent
application would end up in an installer application that does neither
very well at all.
