Because skyblock is such an iconic survival type in the Minecraft community and it's almost always the same starting set, it would make sense for Mojang to add a Skyblock world type so players don't have to download one or join a server. It wouldn't take too much time to add and would make it a lot easier, since there's no real way right now to clear out the Nether and End by yourself.
That is very bad reasoning. Something being popular doesn't mean it fits in vanilla. That same thing could be said about any other popular multiplayer thing.

I didn't say skyblock was multiplayer. When it was first introduced in the Minecraft community, it was completely singleplayer, and many people on servers still choose to play it alone. So I don't tink it is exactly a popular multiplayer thing. So why do you think it would be a bad decision to add this? Like I said, skyblock isn't just popular, it's iconic to the game. Mojang already chooses tons of minigames and maps for Realms, so I don't see why it would be too much of a problem if they added this when it is completely optional and has no effect on those who don't want to use it.

Be it multiplayer, mod, singleplayer, whatever. Realms is a bit different story than officializing something as its own world type. You're also using one of the most frowned upon arguments anyone can ever use here. "It's optional so you don't need to use it" does not save the idea from that much negativity. It's not like people will read that and suddenly think "well in that case the idea isn't so bad".
Right now the only going for this is that it's popular. There are hundreds of other things that are just as or more iconic, that doesn't mean it's perfect for vanilla. I hate to use an opinion on this one but skyblock doesn't really match the big open world the game is meant for.

You can create a void world using the superflat preset generator and build an island there. It should take about two minutes.
If that's too much work, you can download pre-made skyblock maps, such as the one in my signature.
