For the same reason they don't make their hardware open, for the same

Yes, small production is the key
The main problem I see with such Free and/or Open phone is the "small
production" syndrome. Small productions mean high prices and low
reliability, whereas we need reasonable prices and reliability.
So we need to focus on making larger production. For that, we need to
widen the target "market".
also check video bus. We know on GTA02 the display used iirc 20mA plus for a
black screen.
Oh and for the 1kR "termination", just driving high a dataline that runs to an
unpowered chip will eat quite some current via clamp diodes from input pin to
0V-VDD, often even enough to power the chip ;-
