totally off the cuff (and in no way inhibited by actual fact or knowledge ) but my guess would be power/battery-life? (how long do BT keyboards last? a remote would have a magnitude fewer key presses)

Certainly would have been nice tho... couple that with a Airport Extreme Video module, and I'd be surfing my media from my Mac (upstairs) on my HT downstairs.

As it is now, you need to locate your iMac near your HT
