I am not in the US and cannot receiver iHeart.

I believe the reason are 
* The stations will get ad additional revenue by playing stream via an
App - there are no visual ads on internet radio applicances.
* The m3u8/HLS stream is Apple proprietary format and also more flexible
in terms of network usage - possibly reduce costs. Format can also
insert local ads more easily.
* The number of users with internet Radio applicances is small compared
to the number of tablets/smart phones users.
