The N900 can (look at the demo: Bounce Evolution for example). The hardware in the iPhone 3GS and N900 are similar (minor differences) Angry Birds is by the same developer (same as Angry Birds on the iPhone). But you currently can't get to it yet, as it's in the Ovi store and the Ovi store isn't accessible by the N900 yet.

You could say the developers out new to the platform, but even after that it's a combination of personal preference (QT vs GTK) and whether they want to spend their developmental time making things functional vs. making things pretty. And I think most developers would rather spend more time on implementing more functionality (or fixing bugs) rather than making a nice GUI.
