I think there are a few things at play here. First, is people want this functionality. Second, they're likely getting some funding from MS for doing this (Cyanogen OS, similarly is about making a living, or profit for that matter). Third, Google's integration from Apps, to the Play Store comes with a lot of strings attached, and it makes sense for Cyanogen to avoid as much of that as possible.
Personally, I want as close to a pure android experience as possible, and may move from the OnePlus One to whatever the next smart phones from Google/Nexus at the end of the year are (or current if my phone drops). The only thing I really like about my OPO over others, currently is my back cover is the bamboo option, and I really appreciate natural/wood when it's available for a product.
