Because pubsub still is not widely deployed. At least with servers running the jabberd series. I know I haven't bothered to jump through the twisted hoops to get Ralph's implementation running nor has DreamHost, my host. (I did make a suggestion ticket which any of their customers can vote on.) So it's probably not only me who hasn't gone that far yet. ejabberd is great on this part though.
And Apple has customers to please who don't care how they did so long as they did. One of the Mozilla devs posted about this concerning Safari and KHTML. You won't always get "the right thing", but the customers get what they want and are kept happy.

Certification would probably only solve the problem of "will my client/app/server/lib/etc. work with..." and "will it do this...". We still have to write the code which is the only way to solve all of our problems.
Well, making suggestions on the mailing lists is another too.
