One thing I wonder about is that these CPUs are just so much faster than their memory controllers. So why not add more? Why don't they have a memory controller per core, for example?

I think it mostly is for more controllers to be useful that means more PHYs and more actual pins on the package and more traces on the board and more sockets for the memory and... The space and cost of all of that is substantial (to a point, and then it just physically can't be manufactured).
