Possibly that experience led them to not do it when they had the clean slate of iOS.

Yet MacOS is doing fine, even after introducing its own App Store. And the iPhone originally started with no apps and added them as user interest grew. Apple knows people would like this, and they have the resources to easily make it happen.

The primary reason, as clearly shown by the way fees are currently levied, is purely for profit.
