If your system is running busybox you usually won't have full fat bash.

One thing that annoys me is how people will crack a quad core 1.6Ghz smartphone with 64Gb of storage and then install busybox to save those 50Mb over a regular shell environment that won't embarrass itself on every shell script or configure script.

It's easier to cross-compile busybox (or toybox) than Bash. Cross compiling for Linux is annoying, cross compiling for Android is even more annoying.
