Default Anouncements on bus (was Cross-London Bus Transfer & Discount London Bus Pass)

One thing I don't understand, and which might be a reason for this, is
that while they do excellent announcements on the Tube, DLR etc., there
is no passenger information at all on the buses. When I'm not sure and
ask the driver or other passengers they are usually quite helpful. But
of course if there where some information it would make visitors feel
more sure not to get lost.

Was it ever considered to do announcements on the bus? Is there any
special reason for not doing it?

ISTR being on an 18 about ten years ago which had a dot matrix display
showing the name of the next stop.
