Splitscreen multiplayer offline in Xbox 360 games

Why isn't offline splitscreen implemented more frequently? Surely there are people who have friends but no Live subscription playing as well????

Is it that the Xbox 360 is too weak hardware wise to do this (apart from Halo and Gears which have this) for most games?

It's all about the devs using them or not.

If Halo and Gears can support it then so can other games. The problem is devs not using it. Online play is nice, but I do like having local mutliplayer as well and often prefer it.

Graphics have to be dumbed down to do split-screen.
