Because there is no demand.
Because today, you get all the software along with hardware.
And that software is already written somewhere in China, by same people who make the hardware.
Google, Facebook, Snapachat, MicroSoft, Amazon all run their hardware R&D in China for obvious reason that the hardware is already being manufactured there. They all copy Apple, and surely think that they can become Apple if they do like them.
