They don't, and it's stupid and lame. Even Apple fanboys are calling Apple on this one, as it's utterly inexcusable. I would expect Apple to improve this by next year's WWDC, or face a massive outcry and protest at the time. The only thing is, there's such a potential for revenue, that I'm not sure developer response will be coordinated enough.
So, you have Apple and Microsoft at two ends of the mobile spectrum; one that's extremely consumer-focused, but control-crazy; the other seems to care less about the consumer experience at times, but has built an open developer-friendly platform. Time will tell if Android saddles the middle.
