Ironically this is the one thing that the Android ecosystem fragmentation has going for it. My guess is that no one can be bothered to make reliable exploits that have all the correct offsets and addresses for who knows how many different kernels and firmwares and such.
You'd think the Broadcom wifi bug would be an extremely lucrative worm target, but in reality it takes a great deal of effort to make a reliable exploit targeting a single version of a single device.
Until there's a more basic bug that doesn't involve kernel addresses and exact memory layouts etc it's far more profitable for bad actors to deliver their malware via malicious .APK files that users will happily install.
