You might think that, but there's a reason that there have been about ten f/1 or faster photographic-quality optical lenses ever sold. Of those, about two were usable on a day-to-day basis, and only one is considered to be a really good lens (good old Noctilux).
It doesn't really have anything to do with the size of the sensor. An f/1 gets so highly curved, and needs such powerful diverging elements, that it's almost impossible to correct for all the errors.
That, and if they put an f/1.0 lens in a point-and-shoot, people would get upset that only a tiny part of their image was in focus. Go and look at some Noctilux images to see that effect, and tell me if it's what PnS users are looking for.
