You underestimate engagement. I guess most of these users already has a Google + profile, but are not engaged.

By integrating both services (specially the old social features from reader) they could make Google + a much more active community, overnight.

Instead, they decided to send their users to other venues. This is just dumb.

It would be like adding Flickr (something like 30M) to Facebook (1B) -- the difference just wouldn't be noticeable.
