It adds cost, and dedicated ereaders are targeted towards being dedicated ereaders.
The same way the iPod was a dedicated music player. Until they bolted on extra stuff and it wasn't a music player anymore, it was a multipurpose device.
The same way cellphones were dedicated phone-calling devices. Until they bolted on extra stuff and it wasn't a phone-calling device anymore, it was a multipurpose device.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

If you started similarly bolting on extra stuff to dedicated ereaders, they too would become... well, the Onyx T68 & Co.
Please do link to some of these eink tablets. No, not the no name Chinese models, but actual tablets made by known manufacturers. I haven't seen one... Ever.

What I have seen are things like the Sony Digital Paper, but that isn't a tablet or an ereader. That is something totally different.
