There's 0 demand for it.

Spotify and the likes addressed a need in the market.

Advertising is still completely adequate method for compensating a lot of publishers.

Others, who don't mind giving the aggregators 30%, provide you with the ability to subscribe from Apple Newstand and similar services. There's been a bunch of services that tried to do content access like this... uptake was completely dismal.
