But, why?
- Easier to monopolize the apps you install on their devices.
  
  That works if you're dominant in the market, and you have companies rushing to make software for your platform. If you're not, you end up as an also-ran platform with a handful of half-baked ports (like every "smart TV").
  
  They are dominant in the budget tablet space.
- Control, greed, money.
