Why doesn't Silverlight support ADO.Net directly?

Question

Is Silverlight supporting the ADO.Net objects directly? I got the answer as "No"

Silverlight project doesn't support normal ADO.NET objects like DataTable, DataSet, DataColumn, Database connection providers like SqlConnection, OledbConnection objects.

But, Why doesn't Silverlight support ADO.Net directly?

If you need some thing like that you'd better use WPF consume data from SQL Azure.
