The Android team is the one to blame, several times on Android Fireside sessions they have answered that they rather have the fragementation of the ecosystem where partners are allowed to experiment and come up with new ideas.

I still rather be on Android, because even with them screwing up Sun and leaving it to implode, I like that they push a managed OS no matter what.
Those that unaccept it and keep diving into the NDK with GL based UIs, always get a few scars in the process.
