Maybe they just don't give a tulip, and are more interested in the lucrative act of plastering the interweb with repetitive and mostly annoying ads?

Among other things, the phone's ring tone for that incoming call is copied to the headset for the latter to play instead of it playing just its standard "incoming call" tone the same for all calls.
So if on your mobile phone you configure different tones for different callers or caller categories, then these are reflected in the ringtone you hear in your headset.
This is supported for Nokia and Windows phones, but not currently for Android phones.
(There are potential security issues with in-band audible control signals generally. So maybe that accounts for Google's reluctance.)

I should think there must be some commercial reason why not. Anyone care to hazard a guess?
