The reason why featured game mode has it, and ARAM/TT doesn't--currently--is that featured game modes tend to play out like a normal SR game. Skills in TT are different than those used on SR, and likewise, things that work in ARAM don't necessarily work in SR or even TT.
It'd be nice to be able to earn champ mastery in ARAM, since it's my preferred game mode, but in the end, I don't really care about a shiny icon on my champion portrait, or hextech chests. If or when it comes to ARAM, it'll be neat, but until then... meh, I don't really care either way. :3
