Plugins never work on simulator

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Is there a reason none of the plugins work on the simulator? (admob, facebook, analytics)? It would be great if they did.

#2

The simulator isn’t running on iOS or Android.  Necessary SDK’s are not part of OS-X and Windows.  Device information needed isn’t present and so on.
