Widgets should look like widgets, not like shortcuts. The main reason is that there is absolutely NO guarantee about what a shortcut will look like. Other devices (especially ones with custom system UIs like MOTOBLUR or HTC Sense) might have a different look and feel. Or in the next update of Android we might change the way shortcuts are presented.
