Sorry, but you have no idea how technically easy it is or isn't.
Being a web developer has nothing to do with Android application
programming.  And yes, it may also be a situation where they don't
want to have to screen everything people post, because that's the
whole point of the Market, is that Google is hands *off*.  Stark
contrast to iron fist Apple.

I'd love it if screenshots start appearing on the Market. Try
suggesting it constructively and in a way that emphasizes why it
should be a greater priority to the Android team than the bajillion
other things they're working on as they try to fundamentally alter the
mobile space, rather than railing about how they must just be lazy,
and you might get a better response.
