Because in general the bits for a small user base don't leak out into other bits of the kernel. It's a much higher barrier if you want to affect other people's code because it is asking everyone else to help maintain stuff they don't need. That's not to say sometimes its not the right choice, but I still find it remarkable that nobody else but Android seems to want it,.
