So the answer to your question is: probably because no-one's asked.
Do you see an ethical conflict that financial donors to Wikipedia (Wikia) are on the Interwiki map? If not, why?
Do you see the conflict that the developers (who are close to Jimmy) turned down Bainer's patch that would have fixed all this? If SEO and pagerank don't matter, why endorse something that benefits other sites? Why not ensure no one gets the magic Wikigoogle juice?
