Developing for iOS and Android is expensive and painful. Adding a third ecosystem to that would be more expensive and more painful.

We could probably come up with something Android adjacent that was able to run APKs. Hell I guess Amazon kind of tried that already.

Nobody wants to reinvent the wheel for free.

It's already there. Jolla's SailfishOS can run Android apps using their AlienDalvik compatibility layer. PostmarketOS can also run Android apps using Waydroid.
