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...
systems like that have been tried (merlin, klein, pinnarello), the
trick would be to settle on a standard.
it will also be denounced by the lugs and espressos crowd as a cost
cutting scheme.
