If they did not give wild shape and summon spirit companion, you would not be able to take encounter and daily powers with the Beast Form and Spirit keywords. Wild shape is arguably just a flavor tool without said powers. The spirit companion is arguably a powerful tool when you can summon it as a minor, so it had to be weakened somehow to avoid constant summoning and dismissing it to place an obstacle, but you gain iy as a standard. You essentially spend two standard actions to use an at-will power and create an obstacle that if destroyed will damage you. The Speak with Spirits power was needed (it is nice but not particularly powerful) to balance the feat out.</blockquote>
