Android and UI Fluidness

Simple question.

How is it that all these new Android devices can double the processor speed, include dedicated GPU's and generally have amazing hardware but still struggle to scroll through Android's user interface fluidly. Skinned or not, its jerky and unpleasant to use.

I know its all about productivity in the end, but why can't everything just be smooth?

Why does scrolling through the main menu need to be jerky, when we clearly have the hardware to render and animate it smoothly?

Why do we need to stutter through home screens?

The hardware seems to constantly improve exponentially but we still struggle with the same stutters as with the first Android phones

I'm no fanboy but this seems to be a problem on almost all phones except for the iPhone which is, I think, one of the main background reasons people purchase it over other more interesting devices.

I just don't understand.
