I wrote a large part of those views and it seems perfectly normal to
me for the framework to do everything it can to provide with the best
user experience. And that includes optimizing. Using bitmaps not only
makes things faster it also helps performing less operations, which
helps battery life and prevents from hogging the CPU for background
apps (it works the other way around too.)

ListView is a very complex widgets that needs to do a lot of work
while scrolling. I seriously doubt that ListView does less work than
the average side-scroller.
