"similar performance characteristics"? I can exchange data at a quarter of the latency using normal shared memory.

I'm not sure how you'd port binder's security guarantees to simple shared memory. Binder is more than just IPC, it also provides an RPC mechanism as well as some isolation capabilities.
I'm sure it does more things that make it useful, and that it provides a practical programming model for certain platforms, but it's certainly not the lowest latency way to do inter-process communication.
