For on premise designng delta lake, and craete metastor must use hive.

Some problems maybe accursed in use hive, that java version and setting cluster are some of them.

Why delta lake has not metastore inside itself, with out needing other applications?

Building another metastore needs a huge effort. We focus on solving the data problems and leave the metastore work to other projects that are good at the metastore area.
