Yes, you will be happiest when you are assimilated :-) Emacs insists on
info files for all packages distributed with it, so info is the lingua
franca.

I've heard similar sentiments before and although I agree with the
specific case of the org manual[fn:1], I can't see what benefits it
would provide in most or all other cases. Hence my question: why do you
want to have org versions of all info files? What would the benefits
be?
Footnotes:
[fn:1] Two reasons: if one is a producer of org documentation (which we
all are to one extent or another), it's easier to write it in
one's "native" language, so to speak. And having the manual in
org provides a good test of org functionality (primarily export),
the kind of test that Bernt Hansen's document has been providing
for a long time, but perhaps on a larger scale. But rewriting
existing texinfo documentation in org just does not seem to
provide many (or even any) benefits.
