What is the philosophy or reason behind the Mathworks not finally releasing Matlab with a few incrementation operators? (++, +=, etc)

I'm not asking for work arounds or ways how to write my own function to get the same effect.  I'm just curious why in the world they don't do this.  Seems like it would be a simple thing to do.
