degauss: Yup, and after one wonders if the EEPROM content shouldn't be configurable, one gets the idea that RAM would be even cooler. And there goes the simplicity 
indi: I think sprites add quite some complexity (for each sprite: check the raster beam, load the shift register from memory, handle the priorities and such. And all the registers which need to be implemented). I am sure this would have killed the "one-chip-for-all"-idea of the TED. And without that, the price would surely have risen, both from build- and development costs.
BTW Game cartridges with additional hardware are in the making. I think Enforcer2 wants to do this, and at least another title I know of.
