AFAICT, it's more of their desire to control their networks. They don't have Bluetooth phones (T608 excepting) because they've actively avoided Bluetooth technology -- some think they fear it will mess up their pricing structures.
Compare this to GSM, where SIMs make it easier to get "non-carrier-approved" phones on a network. Phones on GSM networks are more like telephone appliances, i.e., you "plug them in" regardless of manufacturer or product.
