They just seem not to care. Good luck making the game actually fun...

  It took them over a year to add an an item-count label to your inventory in Ingress. These are the same people who made rendering the UI layer dependent on responses from a server. Most of the promised features of the game are missing, many core features don't work, and with each update they've only further broken the app. A competent company "could" probably add these features easily. I very much doubt Niantic can.
