I'm not sure why, but I wish it would happen. I think Android could even be made to run as a desktop environment / application (kind of like WindowsAndroid) so you could switch seamlessly between traditional DEs and mobile interfaces. I also think gnome shell could be tweaked to make a beautiful tablet interface. I've been considering starting a project to get Arch Linux working on my Nexus 7 so I can play around with these ideas. If anybody is interested in helping out, please let me know.
