Threadless BB Cartridges: Why/Why Not?

Thanks to Werehatrack for introducing me to the concept...
Now it begs the question:
Why are BB shells threaded in the first place?
i.e. Why don't most bikes just come with threadless
already installed?
Sounds like there's a downside...
I must have missed it but could you direct me to a web site where I
can see the cross section of a threadless BB? The only ones I know of
were on Ashtabula cranks and they had a larger diameter.
