Just because they are stripped historically. This is how RealURL works. It
is not going to change because it may change tons of URLs around. As a
workaround for page titles only, you can always specify a custom segment
and replace "&" with "and" if you have to. That would be better SEO because
people are likely to search for "products and services", not "products &
services".

I think being simple has more advantages than being complex.
