Why? :D We've been over this a number of times, and basically the only logical reason seems to be either the price of making one large screen was prohibitive and/or since the touch screen does distort the lower image slightly (only slightly) they wanted one with a clear image.
But it'll be difficult to do this on a TV simply due to the vertical allignment the DS has. You'll get two small screens on top of each other, or in the case of wide screen, you'll probably have to tilt it on it's side. That's not so silly an idea, as I've seen a number of computer moniters (such as my brother's) that have a built in rotate ability so you can just tilt it that way. So far he hasn't bothered using it, but it has possibilities.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
