To say "why should they" seems like a pretty short-sighted response. That would be like someone 15 years ago suggesting buying/selling domain names or websites as a ludicrous concept. Apps and Games are already the foundation of many multi-million dollar companies. Many of them are rags-to-riches stories. Others are earning an honest living through app sales and ad revenue.
Google generates revenue by facilitating a marketplace for these goods to be bought and sold, and to be quite honest, transferring ownership of an app should be no more foreign a concept than a registrar allowing the transfer of a domain name. However sarcastic your response, thanks for replying.
