I think that has something to do with the hardware specs mandated by Microsoft. There's a "chassis" spec that Microsoft dictates, which is designed to:

1. Set minimum specs and features, so all Windows Phone devices deliver a "premium" experience.

2. Simplify the platform by standardizing the hardware to some degree.

That second one is where is get tricky. In theory, it's a good thing, but it can have negative consequences as well.
