So there's three things at play there.
First is that not everyone
has the widgets installed that you have.
Second is that not everyone
wants the widgets that run in your theme.
I think people need to think clearly about whether they're building for themselves, or building for an audience. Maybe even build two versions of your theme one for you and one for the masses. Like Signals says, you can also blog about the usage of the theme (in the past I've used YouTube or Picasa slideshows. Shit you could even host an HTML "help" file formatted for Android phones on a public dropbox folder, and link directly to it from your theme using an action block. The thing is that letting a theme embed and load a widget directly is disabled in Android. This is not a SH thing.
Third is that the Dev will possibly eventually publish an API letting existing widget publishers add some code to make them appear native in Sweeter Home. We'll see how this goes down in the future, but imagine an Twitter widget with the editing depth of the SH native SMS widget, for example...
