History has not been kind to wireless protocols beyond basic IP. WiMax had IPv4, IPv6, PPPoE and ethernet frames as protocol types in the specifications, but vendors only ever implemented IPv4 and put the rest as "coming soon".
LTE had IPv6 as an additional licence charge from some vendors. If you are a carrier, would you rather spend to build more sites to improve coverage and adoption of the basic protocol, or burn budget for fewer sites by supporting a niche protocol at additional cost? As these are just software features that can be implemented on the same hardware, the decision can be kicked down the road indefinitely.
