Dear Trent -
  Perhaps because media for eraseable optical drives in quanity is around
$50.00 a unit, whereas you can press CD-ROMs in quanity for around 
$2.50 a unit.
  Do people just have tape decks at home?  Or do they have CD players and
tape decks?  Each unit has its place, and if you want a cheap way to get
a lot of megabytes of information out, then CD-ROM is the way to go.
