Because the results would be meaningless to consumers. Congratulations, your phone's TRP in 850GSM is 18.5dBm!*
*Averaged in 3 degree increments for 360 degrees for both phi and theta using a SAM right position (Specific Anthropomorphic Mannequin).
You feel like you know your phone better now?
Also, manufacturers do not share data, so would you want to willingly put your data on the box and have the competition eek you out by 0.2dBm? The engineers know that difference would have 0 impact on customer performance, but what would it do to customer perception?
AT&T has minimum performance requirements in place for just this reason... any phone sold to operate on their network must meet acceptable performance requirements with their equipment.
Unless there's a value proposition they simply can't pass up.
