Unless of course they are an ES game in which modding is natural. If Bethesda had not wanted and expected mods, they wouldn't have included the creation kit. Since they did, mods are just as valid as any other part of the game.

The vanilla game is really only intended for consoles. If there was a viable way for Bethesda to have given console users the ability to use mods, Bethesda would have done it.
