Short-sightedness, along with the fact that there are no native 2.35:1 devices in mass production-- or even planned in the near future.
But to play the Devil's advocate, they'd have to incorporate extra scaling capability in the 1st generation devices to accomodate display devices which *might* come forth in the future, and have to deal with videophiles who believe (rightly or wrongly) that the scaling in-player is inferior to the results of having this letterboxed in the mastering stage.
And the demand for such a feature, while it does exist, is too low right now for them to bother.
