Because it would be utterly useless for the 99.999% of the population.
And also because, like any dreams of that kind, it's better if it remains as such, you really do not want to see it shattered if anyone actually made such a device

no they don't, unless you are living in some alternate reality I'm not aware of
If you just want to read and send text, any phone will do. And it won't have the annoying slow update on e-ink display. (Have you tried typing on one?)
The Psions were nice toys, but not a lot more than that. I had a 5 and the build quality wasn't great. The pointer clip inside the body broke fairly quickly, and the covering on the device itself started peeling off.
The folding action was very clever and the software was decent enough. But I'm not sure I ever used it for anything except occasional notes and some basic spreadsheeting.
Its appeal was that it looked like a serious business-y microlaptop.
That was impressive when real laptops were still blocky, thick, and very heavy. Now that they're not, it doesn't really have a use case.
I would basically murder for an Apollo 3+ powered device with rLCD running on AAA batteries (the apollo is very battery friendly) with a keyboard. So like a modern Psion.
Now I use the Nreal with my phone + a MS foldable keyboard as laptop; still beats carrying a backpack with a laptop + charger (phone goes for 15+ hours) and it's a productivity win focus wise. Still would want something as described above as a companion OR powering the glasses.
Absolutely the reverse of my own experience.
I used an Organizer II LZ32, a Series 3, 3A, 5, and finally 5MX.
The 5, for instance, paid for itself in creating work the same weekend I bought it -- work that I sold on Monday.
