Because Google and everyone else in the Android ecosystem* don't care.
*EDIT: I don't mean third party developers when I said 'ecosystem'. I mean the manufacturers.
They're in it for a profit like everyone else, and "open" is just a good a marketing strategy toward tech-minded people as any other. Consumers, on the other hand, still do not care.

But why should it matter whether they are in it for the money or not. The fact of the matter is that their source is open and people can take it and do things with it.
