Less maintenance and testing when OSs like linux distros bundle the drivers in and keep them working on future versions of the OS. This is also huge for mobile hardware since OEMs won't have to put in any effort to keep patching the latest upstream android.
Of course they may not want any of this since it means they can sell a new phone every 2 years.
