They couldn't do that without going full Sega Game Gear and requiring 8 AA batteries for about an hour of playtime - though their graphics were running a lot better too so maybe a backlit GBC wouldn't need as much power. I used to use the ancillary tool that had it's own batteries though, that magnified the screen as well as lit it up. The one for the Game Boy Color was a clear purple, so futuristic!
