Probably because you can't do much without -base.

Not really, "average developer" usually uses data structures defined in gstreamer repository (gst-plugins-base is useful if you want to write your own plugins), that's why I'm wondering why gstreamermm contains gst-plugins-base wrappers.

Is there any reason not to just update those existing repositories?
The modularity exists in the C API for good reasons, so I guess it
should exist in the C++ API.

The only advantage of keeping everything in one repository is easier maintenance. Ah, and the second reason - gst-plugins-base wrapper is already there.
