The issue is security. You can't have third-party code run in the home
screen's process without introducing security holes, which is why
RemoteViews exists in the first place. That pretty much eliminates
custom components, at least as the term is traditionally used (i.e.,
things that would draw on a Canvas).

Android has fairly consistently held to the pattern that security trumps
all else when desires collide, and I for one am rather happy with that
policy.
