Another point is that the Market application is Google proprietary - when you grab the AOSP source, you don't get the Google apps (Maps, Market, etc.)
Android is open source and manufacturers can use it without the consent of Google, but to include the goodies above they have to go through a vetting process (not saying that's a bad thing).
A completely open source implementation / replacement of the Google apps would be very useful.
