I think that has something to do with the hardware specs mandated by Microsoft. There's a "chassis" spec that Microsoft dictates, which is designed to:
1. Set minimum specs and features, so all Windows Phone devices deliver a "premium" experience.
2. Simplify the platform by standardizing the hardware to some degree.
That second one is where is get tricky. In theory, it's a good thing, but it can have negative consequences as well.
You see, a big part of what slowed down Microsoft Windows Mobile (5 - 6.5) development toward the end was that they had to support a large number of different chipsets, screen sizes, etc. Plus each carrier had their own customizations and testing process.

Give the Windows OS some time and it will be competitive with Android.
