QUESTION: Why isn't the Priv being released with option for either BB10 or Android?

This is a straight-up Android implementation with a Grsecurity-hardened Android kernel.

Quite likely the hardware factor as in the screen size not being optimized for android use.

Yeah, the major objective is to appeal to a broader audience who want or need apps. Most apps will look perfect on the Priv, so that will be a good impression for anyone checking out the phone and how their favorite apps work.

Many apps won't look right on the Passport. At least not to people who aren't already BB diehards.
