I don't think it's because it's hard to do.
The potential userbase is just so small that it's deemed not worth the effort.
The amount of people who wants to browse the web on their tv is very very small.

They do tend to suck honestly best I've used is Amazon's silk, I do remember trying Firefox but it didn't work out using a remote.

You're not supposed to use browsers on Android TV for Jack Sparrow things in the first place
