It isn't for lack of desire - it is lack of qualified people and development of some sort of usable touchscreen interface that is phone/tablet based that will get things done. You can run MAME fine, people can and do compile for Android every release, but it would require you to have some sort of external keyboard/controller in order to use well which isn't an idea setup for an mobile device.
Until MAME can find something that does the job and is within licensing restrictions - it won't be an officially distributed platform.
These views are mine alone and may or may not reflect official views of MAMEDEV.
