TinyMCE plugins included with WordPress aren't loaded when using wp_enqueue_editor();

[Swennet]

Using the WP_Editor API as described on the following page does not load any of the WordPress specific TinyMCE plugins like it's supposed to do in the back-end.

This seems like an oversight to me.

Hmm, that's not the case? https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.8/src/wp-includes/class-wp-editor.php#L814. All TinyMCE plugins that are included in WordPress are loaded except media, wpdialog (these are mostly redundant/deprecated), and wpview that needs special treatment to make it work.

Of course you're also free to add or remove plugins (or change any other setting) using the 'wp-before-tinymce-init' event: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.8/src/wp-admin/js/editor.js#L601.
