[B]Why don't the airlines set up bus service from IAD to downtown or maybe Crystal City? Seems like if the airlines themselves pushed that and ran it (versus third-parties like Wash Flyer or public transit) a lot more people would use it and see value of it. They could even do quasi-DCA connections with the bus like UA does for... is it SJC-SFO? I know there's a connecton out there on a bus. Seems like this would be a perfect thing for the US and/or DL Shuttle, for instance.

There already is regular bus service - it's called Washington Flyer.

The express service runs from DC, National Airport, & various Metro stops on coach buses.
